The 'Policy Documents' tab doesn't appear when I select my policy

Please ensure that you have selected the name of your main policy to view all your documents including those for policy addons.

If you have selected a policy addon from the first list (e.g. Breakdown or Agreed Value) then the 'Policy Documents' tab will not appear. This is because all your documents are uploaded to one place - your main policy.

 

The documents in the portal are not from my current policy and are from an old policy

You may find that your old policy documents are still housed in the portal. These will be listed first with your current policy documents then listed underneath
