Display n lines after match found and other line
I have a file like this

Code:
DoctorName
Address1
Address2
DOB
InsuredName
Address1
Address2
DOB
PatientName
Address1
Address2
DOB
ClaimNo1
DoctorName
Address1
Address2
DOB
InsuredName
Address1
Address2
DOB
PatientName
Address1
Address2
DOB
ClaimNo2
.
.
.

(and this set of information gets repeated n times)

I want to print the address1 under InsuredName & ClaimNO

Expected Output
Code:
Address1
ClaimNo1
Address1
ClaimNo2
.
.
Address1
ClaimNo(n)

Note : My shell is csh, I am able to print the address1 under InsuredName alone using following command

Code:
awk 'c-->0;/InsuredName/{c=1}' file

As per my previous input the pattern[claimno] comes 7 lines after search pattern[InsuredName].
I want to print the address1 under InsuredName & ClaimNO.But input scenario is different
Code:
The pattern ClaimNO comes anywhere in the File

Code:
DoctorName
Address1
Address2
DOB
InsuredName
Address1
Address2
DOB
ClaimNo1
PatientName
Address1
Address2
DOB
DoctorName
Address1
Address2
DOB
ClaimNo2
InsuredName
Address1
Address2
DOB
PatientName
Address1
Address2
DOB

.
Code:
My shell is csh
