Provided that a claim has been filed in a timely manner, BP may suspend the analysis of the claim, at the written request of the claimant, if weather conditions preclude the claimant from obtaining the required proof within the delays.

After filing your Claim Form, you might be asked for additional information or documents, sample shingles and/or access to the property to inspect the roof. You must comply with all such requests.
