T&Cs

*Please note each sickness grant is a ‘one-off’ payment for the period stated and is NOT payable weekly.

**Please note any member who transferred onto the free life/superannuated Scale B rate of membership is entitled to a death grant of £210.

Members and other payees will be requested to provide their bank account details for payment by bank transfer,  which is the default method of payment.

Payments are made within 30 days of receipt of the competed claim application by the Union’s Benefit Section.

Benefits are payable in accordance with the Union rule book and any entitlement depends on paying your contributions regularly and not falling into arrears. Benefits can only be claimed (except dispute benefit) after 12 months’ continuous membership. Further information in connection with the claiming of these benefits can be obtained from your Union rep/local office.
