Commuted Member
Should you choose to retire, become employed or cease your membership, there is an option to remain with dg mutual and become a Commuted Member. Although you will no longer be entitled to income protection (i.e. the sickness benefit), the investment element of your policy can remain in place. Many of our members choose to remain with the Society and either continue to contribute at a reduced rate or maintain their policy with no further contributions.
As a commuted member, you would be entitled to annual interest on the amount in your capital account and to an annual bond apportionment of £6.80 per bond along with the interest on the balance in the capital account, as at the 31st December each year. The interest rate is 4% and can be reviewed by our Board of Directors at any time.
You may remain a commuted member of the Society for as long as you wish. When you decide to terminate your policy, you would be entitled to the lump sum in your capital account plus the terminal bonus applicable at that time.

Client Testimonials
“Omega Financial Management is a dg mutual approved broker.”
I have been with the Dentist’s and General Mutual Benefit Society for over 20 years. Over that time I have needed their services multiple times. Kevin Yarnold has always been available and diligent in processing any claim as quickly as possible.
Every contact made with the Society has resulted in me receiving the upmost care and outstanding professional service.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Kevin or any member of the D&G team.
ElaineI would like to take the opportunity to state that I am a massive fan of D&G and regularly advise colleagues to consider you. Having the security you provide has always been great relief to me over the years especially as for many of those years I was a single mum with only my income to rely on. I hurt myself earlier this year and Kevin Yarold during COVID was my point of contact and I could not praise him enough for his quick response and attention.
Thank you for always being there and helping me out this year especially.
JacquiI 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.
