Good but pricey

No complaints at all about the service - very quick to sort out my claim a few years back, but the premium is very high compared with the same or better cover elsewhere.

Paula was marvellous helping me with the online claim

Paula assisted me in my online claim. I am 73 and hopeless with internet things. I am also known as vulnerable and at risk by my mental health team and take strong anti depressants having recently lost my only daughter and wife. Those anti depressants help with the depression and anxiety but they make it difficult to focus as well and I don’t have a lot of motivation for anything at the moment.
Paula was incredibly patient as she talked me through the online claim. She must have been so frustrated with me getting everything wrong but she never slightly showed it. Instead she encouraged me and helped me no end.
Without Paula I literally would never have been able to complete the claim.
I called today to thank her as she kept in touch and called me as promised and I was out so she left a voicemail saying the claim is now completed and handed over. She was busy on a call so I left a message thanking Paula with her colleague.
I hope you might be able to fast track this claim as I had to use my state pension with the vet leaving me without basics. Thank you
