Preview only: this form does not send requests yet.Can you challenge a rejected insurance claim in the UAE?
Yes. You first complain to the insurer, which usually has 30 calendar days to respond. If it maintains the rejection, the complaint can go to the Sanadak unit, the official complaints body set up by the Central Bank of the UAE, at no cost to consumers. Many rejections are based on missing documents, a late notice or a disputed policy term, and can be answered with the right evidence.
Common situations
Common reasons claims are rejected
Most rejections fall into one of these. Each one has a specific answer.
Late notice of the claim
The insurer says it was told too late. The real delay and its reason matter.
A policy exclusion
The insurer relies on a clause. Whether it truly applies is often arguable.
Non-disclosure
The insurer says something was not declared when the policy started.
Disputed facts
Who caused the loss, how it happened or what was damaged is questioned.
Coverage limits
The claim is said to be outside the cover, the limit or the period.
What we do
How we challenge a rejection
We answer the insurer's exact reason, not a general complaint.
- Read the rejection letter and the policy wording together
- Identify the clause or fact the insurer relies on
- Collect the missing documents and evidence
- Build a clear timeline of events and correspondence
- Draft a complaint that answers each point
- Raise it with the insurer and track the 30-day response
- File with the Sanadak unit if the rejection stands
- Prepare your appeal if the decision is not fair
If the free review shows the rejection is correct under your policy, we tell you plainly, so you can decide with clear information.

The complaints route
Two stages, and we prepare both
Stage 1
Complaint to your insurer
The insurer must first get the chance to resolve your complaint, usually within 30 calendar days. A complete, well-documented complaint at this stage often settles the case.
Stage 2
The Sanadak unit
If the insurer does not resolve it, or you disagree with its answer, the complaint goes to the Sanadak unit, the official complaints body set up by the Central Bank of the UAE. Filing is free for consumers. Insurance disputes normally go here before court.
If you need to appealBefore you file
After a rejection, before you file

Rejected insurance claims: frequently asked questions
My insurance claim was rejected. Is that final?
No. You can complain to the insurer, and if it maintains the rejection, take the complaint to the Sanadak unit. Many rejections are reversed or settled when the missing evidence is provided.
How long does the insurer have to respond to my complaint?
The insurer is usually expected to respond within 30 calendar days. After that, the complaint can go to the Sanadak unit.
Can I take a rejected insurance claim to court?
For insurance disputes, the complaint normally goes through the Sanadak unit first. Court comes later if needed.
Does it cost anything to file with the Sanadak unit?
Filing a complaint is free for consumers. An appeal carries an official fee, which may be refunded if the appeal succeeds. See appeals.
What if the rejection is based on non-disclosure?
It depends on what was asked, what was declared and whether it was relevant to the loss. We review the proposal form and the facts before advising.
How much does your service cost?
The first review is free. Our fee for preparing and following up your case is confirmed in writing before we start.
