UC always makes me think of the episode of the Young Ones where scumbag college played the poshos.

That's about the only episode that still stands up these days.

Aye. Basking in the glorious glow
of receiving a cheque for £117.95 towards the dog's treatment. That's £117.95 out of a total cost to us of just under 500 quid.

To summarise:
Nasty lump in mouth turned out to be a tumour that was removed. Within 10 days tumour grows back, dog has another 3 weeks or so of being spoiled before decision is taken to put her to sleep. Insurance claim goes in; turns out there's £115 excess on the policy and they don't cover for home visits or euthanasia, despite the policy being called 'Covered for Life'.

TL;DR read the fucking small print in future and don't bother with insurance, but instead put a sum of money away each month to avoid massive excess payments.

Not entirely unexpected tbh.
Insurance companies: paying out for as little as possible since (insert date here.) Still, some helpful advice coming through on the thread so who knows?

or you should have read your policy

The policy document is remarkably lacking in information.
And has been constantly marketed as 'all singing and dancing'. The fact it's called covered for life is a misnomer as well; it only covers for death through illness up until 8 years of age.

Berk's idea was a good one.
