A burden is lifted!

Three cheers for the insurance company...

Hip Hip Hooray!!!

...it appears they are capable of reaching decisions.

Drum roll....after nearly 5 weeks (whilst not yet official) I was advised tonight (at 5.40pm) that it looks like my income protection claim will be approved tomorrow. However, the lady did mention there is a little issue about the salary – apparently the underwriter (insurer) has my old salary details (which are quite a bit lower then my current salary) and therefore can only approve the lower salary claim. She assured me though; this will be fixed when they provide the underwriter with the correct salary details.

So, fingers crossed everything will be approved and sorted ‘officially’ by tomorrow.

I cannot begin to explain the weight that has lifted from my shoulders. I can breathe a little easier and sleep a little better! I can actually enjoy the rest of my pregnancy without the burden of financial survival lingering above. Naturally, Trevor is over the moon (commenting that he can finally go to the pub and have a beer!).

For now, I gleefully write this entry, comfortable with the fact that I may now be able to have an extra month or two off with my baby instead of rushing back to work.
