Why choose
dg mutual
for your Income Protection?

Specialised for Professionals

We understand the unique challenges faced by lawyers, offering income protection that aligns with your needs and working patterns.

Tax-Free Benefits

Should you be unable to work due to illness or injury, your policy provides a regular,
tax-free income.

Flexible Cover Options

Tailor your policy to suit your individual circumstances, including the level of cover and deferred period.

Mutual Support

As a member of a mutual society, you are not just a policyholder; you are part of a supportive community where profits are reinvested for members’ benefit.

As a self-employed professional, you may not have access to sick pay or employer benefits. Without income protection, an unforeseen health issue or accident could lead to financial strain if you are unable to work, impacting your practice and personal life. dg mutual’s income protection insurance gives you peace of mind, allowing you to focus on recovery without financial worries.

After reviewing the options, ‘Elizabeth’ chose dg mutual’s deferred cover plan, which would provide her with £1,200.00 per week (£5,200 per month), commencing after 26 weeks of illness. At just £112.80 per month, the policy fitted seamlessly into her financial plan.

When ‘Elizabeth’ experienced an unexpected health issue which dictated a lengthy period of recovery, she was grateful for her
dg mutual
deferred cover plan. The policy activated after 26 weeks and the weekly payments from dg mutual ensured she could maintain her financial commitments, allowing her to focus on her recovery.

Simon Hargreaves – Dentist (Retired Member)

During the period I was unable to work, I was able to receive support and advice from yourselves at D&G which clarified my situation and allowed for a simple claim process and speedy payment of sickness benefit from you. I could not fault your support and would highly recommend D&G to all who are able to use your services. Thank you again for the cover you gave over the many years I was a member of the D&G.

Osteopath

I have always found DG Mutual to be extremely helpful, efficient and prompt. A welcome breath of fresh air among the otherwise disappointing customer care experienced with most companies nowadays.

A Rutter – Dental Hygienist

Always good service, quick response and prompt payment

Architect

I thought the experience was brilliant. I was an extremely stressful time for me and my family, I’ve never experienced anything like it in my life and so to not have to worry about income was really important. 

Dr Rogerson – Dentist

Every time I’ve had to use your service I’ve been impressed with your punctuality and how efficient it has been. I have always appreciated the help, for when you’re ill the last thing you need is for it to be too complicated.

Sarah Sullivan – Dental Hygienist

I have always been extremely happy with how my sickness claims have been dealt with. The form was easy to complete and contact with yourself has been straightforward and requests replied to quickly.

Helen Pickard - Dental Hygienist

I find the process easy to follow and I’m happy with the service you have provided for me. Also responded with: It’s been a real peace of mind having you by my side during my professional life, being self-employed can be a frightening thing.

Vicki Lane - Dental Hygienist

I have been with dg mutual for approximately 27 years. Over the years I have made a few claims which have really helped with the temporary loss of income. I couldn’t work last year and the claim was dealt with swiftly and efficiently. It’s quick and easy to speak to a human being and emails are responded to promptly. I highly recommend dg mutual to my colleagues.
