Critical illness

Hi advise plz my critical illness claim has just paid out £28700 however the policy states critical illness we will pay the greater of £28700 and the value of your fund. To me this means I should also receive the value of my fund but the company say not are they correct. This is a Scottish amicable home purchaser policy now owned by PRUDENTIAL

It reads to me that a comparison is performed between the value of your fund and the value £28,700 with the higher value being paid over to you. In your case that was £28,700.0

If that was the case then it should read the greater of £28700 or the value of your fund which ever is the greatest.0

If it was intended to pay both amounts then the word greater would not be required.0
