Dear Sir, With reference to your claim number MC12345, we would like to inform you that your claim has been partially settled. The reason is that depreciation was applied on the replaced parts as per the policy terms. The approved amount has been transferred to your account. If you are not satisfied you may contact our grievance cell. Thanking you. Our surveyor inspected the vehicle at the workshop on the date fixed with you, and his report along with the repair bill and the photographs has been examined by our claims department. The parts which were replaced are of plastic and rubber, and the policy provides that a share of the cost of such parts is to be borne by the insured because a new part gives longer life than the damaged one. The labour charges on these parts have been paid in full. The settlement has therefore been made in accordance with the terms and conditions supplied to you along with the policy schedule at the time of issue. A copy of the surveyor's assessment can be made available on request at the branch. We value your association with us and assure you of our best services at all times.

StrongThe correct reason, expressed in the industry's own vocabulary — exactly what this paper rewards.
VagueAn appeal route needs a named channel, a timeframe, and the ombudsman escalation. That is the second half of the question.
What the examiner wanted and did not find
  • A subject line naming the claim and the decision
  • The specific deduction breakdown: depreciation, compulsory excess, salvage
  • Escalation: grievance officer, then the Insurance Ombudsman, with timeframes
Model answer for this question

Reference and subject line first. Paragraph one: the decision and the settled amount. Paragraph two: the breakdown of the deduction — depreciation on plastic and metal parts at policy rates, compulsory excess, and salvage where applicable — with the policy clause referenced. Paragraph three: the appeal route with the grievance officer's designation, the response timeframe, and escalation to the Insurance Ombudsman. Close in the service register.
