Income Protection Plus
for Large Animal
Veterinary Professionals
Have you ever had to step away from work, not just for a day, but for weeks or even months?
Whether you’re a cattle vet employed by practice, working as a locum, running your own practice or still in training, one thing is true: if you can’t work, your income stops. Employer sick pay might last a few weeks – if you have it at all. And asking family to cover your salary? That’s a heavy ask.
That’s where Income Protection Plus from PG Mutual comes in.
Income Protection Plus can cover up 70% of your pre-tax income until you’re 65 or fit enough to return to the job you love. It was set up by pharmacists back in 1928 and has supported people in the healthcare and veterinary professions ever since.
How Income Protection Plus
has helped a veterinary professional
This is Dave (his name and location have been changed for confidentiality). He lives in Epsom, Surrey. Back in 2017 a stable wall fell upon him while he was treating a sick horse causing extensive injuries. Dave had to be off work for 2 years.
Over those 2 years PG Mutual paid out 100% of his covered income and it meant Dave could maintain his lifestyle and pay his bills, letting him concentrate on his recovery. We also supported him with a specialist rehabilitation program to help get him back to work, at no additional cost to him.
He is now back at the job he loves and continuing his career.
