Make a Claim
There’s little point in having Income Protection if it doesn’t pay out when you need it which is why we focus on paying as many claims for our members as possible. We pride ourselves on our consistently high claims payment track record - an average of 94% over the last 17 years. We hope it feels good knowing you’re covered with a friendly insurance provider you can trust.
