How to make an income protection or severance claim

Income Protection

Protect's injury and illness insurance provides global income protection, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for members who are sick or injured.

The Protect Field Team are independent of the insurer and work with members to ensure claims progress as smoothly as possible. If you have any questions do not hesitate to get in touch.

COVID-19:

Protect’s illness and injury insurance does not contain any exclusions, provisions or limitations specifically related to a pandemic virus that you might find in other insurance policies.

Generally speaking, if a member unfortunately contracted the virus and became unable to work as a result then it is likely that the policy would be able to assist, even if symptoms are mild.

However, the policy only covers instances where a member can’t work because they’re sick or injured. Therefore, if you have been stood down or are self isolating (even if under medical advice), the policy is unfortunately unable to assist because in those circumstances you are not sick or injured.
