How To Claim

In order to claim, ask your "flu friend" to phone us on (01225) 752120. 

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

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 may not have a valid claim.
• Arrears of contributions will affect your eligibility to claim sickness benefit.
