Sick Pay Insurance FAQs

Now closed to new business

Sick Pay Insurance is now closed to new business. We will continue to uphold any policies you may have with us, so long as the terms are adhered to. Please see the FAQs below for more details. 

How do I make a Sick Pay Insurance claim?

The easiest way to make a sick pay insurance claim is to call us on the number below or email us with your contact number. You can always write to us, but it’s not as quick.

You’ll just need to let us know your policy number, the type of illness or accident that stopped you from working, the date it started or happened and your contact number.

We’ll then get in touch with your doctor to confirm you’re too unwell to work in your job. We’ll help you through your claim and get it all sorted for you as quickly as possible.

Claims number: 0800 681 6286

For TextDirect first dial 18001. Calls will be recorded and/or monitored for training and audit purposes.

Are there any jobs you don't cover?

We cover nearly every type of job – the only jobs we can’t cover are:

  • Armed Forces
  • Any kind of diver
  • Miner
  • Fisherman
  • Professional sportsperson

If you find yourself employed as one of the above after you have set up your cover, then, unfortunately, we can’t cover you.

Can my partner be added to my sick pay insurance?

Sick Pay Insurance is designed for individuals, so you can’t add people to your own individual cover.

How can I change my personal details?

When you set up your Sick Pay Insurance, we sent you a link to your own personal customer hub where you can log in and update most of your personal details.

However, if it’s easier, you can always call us on 0800 681 6285 where we’re happy to do this for you.
