How To Claim

In order to claim, ask your "flu friend" to either phone us on (01225) 752120 or click here to complete and submit a claim by email.

Information we need is as follows:

• The member's name
• Membership Number or Date of Birth and Postcode
• If the Swine Flu sufferer is suspected of having Swine Flu (in accordance with current Government guidelines) or if they have been diagnosed by a medical practitioner
• The first date of incapacity

What we will do:

• We will send the member a "Swine Flu" Claim form, which will confirm the above information.
• On this form, we will also tell the member:
  • The amount of sickness cover they have
  • The waiting time on the specific membership
• We will process the members claim as soon as possible

Important Points to Note

• The current Government guidelines state that you will only suffer from the current H1N1 strain Swine Flu once. Therefore, you will only be able to claim under these concessions once.
• We will not require medical certification unless the member suffers complications.
• Most people will recover within one week. Therefore, if the waiting period on your membership is greater than one week, it is unlikely that you will have a valid claim.
• Arrears of contributions will affect your eligibility to claim sickness benefit.
