“Any BI policyholders who believe they may have a claim but have not yet submitted this to their insurer should do so as soon as possible in accordance with the policy document,” added the regulator.
“Policyholders may also find it useful to refer to our policy checker and our guidance and statements for policyholders for more information.”
