The Society is working closely with our advisers to ensure that we remain in a position to support our members who have been impacted by the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). As the situation surrounding COVID-19 is still evolving, we will keep our guidance under review.
Our members can make a claim if they suffer a loss of income because they cannot work as a result of their illness (including COVID-19) or injury.
To make a claim, members need to complete and return their claim form as soon as possible.
We will assess our members’ claims (including those for COVID-19) in line with our standard procedures and in line with their individual plan.
If you are isolating yourself, even at the direction of your employer or the appropriate authorities, you will not be considered incapacitated.

Client Testimonials
“Omega Financial Management dg mutual approved broker.”
I claimed on the Day 1 Income Protection scheme for a period of time when I was unable to work and I found it to be an extremely beneficial to me. I was paid from the first day that I couldn’t work until I was able to return. The service was excellent, there was very little paperwork in claiming and I was supported by the guys on Omega really well. I’m happy to recommend this to any self employed professional.
SusanI broke my left humerus and had to take the best part of 6 months off work. I was very relieved that I had the Day 1 cover in place and I was paid from the very first day I couldn’t go to work until I returned fully six months later. The claims process itself was easy and Deirdre from Omega and Kevin in dg were extremely helpful. I found I could be honest with them and they would take my word for my progress, no need for medical reports and examinations. I was very glad I had the cover in place as I was able to pay all of my bills while I couldn’t work. I would highly recommend it to any self-employed professional Vet.
MartinI had to make a short term claim on my Day 1 policy for a brief illness that kept me out of work for a few days. I found everyone we dealt with in Omega and dg really helpful in processing the claim as quickly as possible. Having made a claim it gives me great peace of mind knowing that the policy does pay out and that we can rely on it if we ever need it again. I am very happy to recommend it to other Physiotherapists.
