Upon receipt of the complete documents, the Leadway Assurance Death claim forms would be availed the applicant and expected to be filled by the beneficiary and returned.

The required documents are:

* Valid means of identification of the beneficiary e.g. NIMC, VOTER’S CARD

* Valid means of identification of the deceased e.g NIMC, VOTER’S CARD

* Death certificate

* Medical report

* Evidence of payment of BPF and local dues for the year the deceased member passed on

All applications must state the SCN of the deceased member.

Should any member require further information or clarification, pls kindly send an email or call *Kunle Edun on 08038695936* or Ezekiel on 07037000903. For the purpose of processing the insurance claims of deceased members, the communication shall be between the NBA National Secretariat and the Chairmen/Secretaries of the branches of deceased members.
