Key legal question
Whether the insurer had to pay the death benefits despite clause excluding payment if death occurred within 12 months after invalidity capital was paid.
Extracted holding
The exclusion clause applied because the insured died less than 12 months after payment of the invalidity capital.
Extracted reasoning
The insurer was not obliged to treat earlier medical certificates or the AI application as a declaration of invalidity claim; it had no duty to investigate or pay ex officio before receiving sufficient notice and evidence.
