Has anyone had a successful Critical illness claim?

Hi I am 38 and have been diagnosed with grade 2 invasive breast cancer of the duct with high grade DCIs, I have put a claim in and the insurers are waiting for my dr and consultant to provide details. I was just wondering the likelihood of the claim being successful and how long it usually takes to hear back? Thank you so much!

    It was back in 2004 when i was first diagnosed with breast cancer.  I had only had my critical illness policy for about four months but it paid out straight away. But that was a long time ago now so things may have changed. It was a silver lining though. Since then the cancer returned and I am now dealing with a third and terminal diagnosis. But I've had 20 years of living and maybe a little bit more so I'm not complaining...and boy! Did I enjoy my critical illness pay out!!!
