Eligibility
is based on insurance service, financial circumstances
and the existence of an element of misfortune. Applications
are considered in the following circumstances:
- Where the applicant and/or a dependent relative
has spent at least five years in the insurance
industry, regardless of the nature of their employment,
but where that service has been the major part of their
working life
- Where an applicant's resources are limited,
both in terms of capital and income, and he cannot
therefore finance reasonable needs after taking into
account statutory entitlement
- Where there has been an
element of misfortune prompting the application or
contributing to the difficult financial position
in which the applicant finds himself eg ill health,
redundancy, marital breakdown or unemployment
Types of help given depend on circumstances but could
include the following:
- Ongoing long term payments to supplement
insufficient income
- One-off payments eg for property
maintenance or purchase of appliances
- Ongoing short
term help with exceptional expenditure over a limited
period eg private physiotherapy/speech therapy
- Limited
help during a first degree course for students
of long serving insurance employees, particularly
where there is family financial hardship
