People without sick pay
Combined can really help you if you get little or no sick pay and this includes both those in paid employment and those in unpaid work such as a housewife/house husband or someone engaged in voluntary work.
If you were unable to perform your usual work due to an accident or sickness State Benefits would provide you with statutory sick pay of just £75.40 per week*, that’s about £300 a month. If this isn't enough to cover your living expenses, it's definitely worth considering getting covered for illness or injury because Combined will pay you:
- up to £1,000 for breaking a bone accidentally
- up to £6,000 a month for hospitalisation due to an accident or sickness
- up to £900 a month for incapacity due to accident or sickness
- up to £90,000 for being diagnosed with a critical illness
All benefits are payable in addition to State Benefits and are usually tax free.** The benefits are yours to spend how you choose and can be used to cover your living expenses, getting the best medical treatment or taking a holiday to recuperate. Family members can also be covered at special rates and children can be covered on an adult Critical Five Plan at no additional cost.

* Present UK law and Inland Revenue practice means that you do not get tax relief on your premiums. Benefits are free of UK income tax and capital gains tax. However if Combined Insurance pay a benefit after your death, inheritance tax may be due on the benefit paid. You may be able to avoid inheritance tax by using an appropriate trust. A solicitor can give you more detail. Present UK tax law may change in the future.
