During the Critical Illness Benefit Society's Annual General Meeting in April, the motion was carried to increase the claim submission time for members.

Now, CIBS claims can be made within two years from the date of diagnosis instead of one year, providing additional time for members to prepare and apply for the CIBS benefit.
