Critical illness cover

Critical illness cover provided under the scheme can pay £10,000 to a serving officer and £5,000 to the partner of a serving officer. 

For further information please refer to the Members Guide and the full policy or contact suffolk@polfed.org. 

You could also have access to RedArc which gives valuable support and help following the diagnosis of a serious illness.  As part of the service, the claimant will automatically be assigned to a member of the RedArc nurse team, who in turn will contact the claimant to introduce the service.

In addition to providing ongoing advice and support, the personal nurse adviser may arrange extra help if clinically appropriate, e.g. a one-off home visit from a specialist nurse, a course of physiotherapy, a course of counselling, or similar.

The personal nurse adviser can put the patient in contact with specialist charities and self-help groups, and give advice on specialist equipment to aid function. These services are provided free of charge.
