Based on recent customer reviews, Workerslife is facing significant dissatisfaction from long-standing policyholders, particularly around claims handling and legal cover services. Customers consistently mention frustration with declined or underpaid funeral and death claims, often citing disputes over arrears deductions on policies they believed to be active. A recurring theme is poor communication, with reviewers describing unanswered calls, ignored emails, and unresolved cancellation requests. Subscribers to the legal product repeatedly express disappointment with appointed attorneys, perceived lack of representation in court matters, and difficulty escalating concerns within the legal department.

Confirmation Message *Business Name:* Workerslife *Rating:* 1 out of 5 *Review:* I've submitted the death claim to Workerslife on the 10th of April and they took 3 weeks to finalize, they declined because of arrears but my policy is active and it's not lapsed, according to my research they pay those in arrears and deduct arrears. I joined in 2007 and I just claimed for the first time. 70564248 I need my money ASAP. Your service is very poor how can you assess for 3 weeks? Smelling office with no fan or aircon, without cameras ‼️

My husband has a legal cover from Workerslife and I had a case going on which cost me +/-R100 000. And workers like only paid us R5500! When the maximum they can pay is R60000. I am so disappointed and I would like to warn everyone who has a legal cover with this company that they are on their own if they happen to have a legal matter.

I am a subscriber of Workerslife legal. I asked Workerslife to assist me with a lawyer for a civil matter, they gave me a lawyer that is new in my area and she wrote a legal opinion regarding my matter which I totally disagree with and I asked for a second opinion from a reputable legal practitioner in Civil matters. They appointed a ******** lawyer for a civil matter to give an opinion and I told them that the lawyer they appointed last year he did not help me on another matter. He is always busy and not available and when we do meet, he does not take instructions. Weeks and months passed by without any progress and when I enquire from him, he tells me he is waiting for an increase from Workerslife. I asked Workerslife to give me someone else for a second opinion and they refused stating that the rotten lawyer is the only one they have to give me a second opinion. I said to noxolo dube from legal department, you keep on giving me this rotten lawyer. Why? I wrote an affidavit asking Workerslife to change this lawyer but you keep on ignoring me. Is this the service Workerslife prides themselves with. This noxolo lady she is the alpha and omega of the legal department at Workerslife and I can't get through to her. I am in a process to borrow money so that I can get a lawyer that is clued up with civil matters because Workerslife represented by noxolo dube has failed me

I recently discovered a Bonlife Funeral Fund policy (Member No: FO01199029) confirmed in a 2008 Bonlife letter. The policy included a tombstone benefit and a R1,000 funeral discount. I’ve contacted Workerslife, who were the underwriters at the time, to confirm the policy and process the claim — but I’ve received no response. This delay and lack of feedback are unacceptable. I urge Workerslife to urgently confirm their responsibility and settle this matter in line with the policy and insurance regulations.

Worker'slife did not pay my claim correctly out. They con me out of 6400. They instead deduct installment of a policy that are lapse more then three years and people on the policy that lapse died more than two years back. How can you deduct arrears of three years where no initial installment was paid. With the death of the people on this policy I didn't even attempt to claim as this policy was null and void as not a single premium was paid. The worker who wrote the policy my instructions was clear if not going through PERSAL I don't want the policy.
