DEFERRED PERIOD INCOME PROTECTION PLANS
DEFERRED PLANS TO WORK WITH YOUR SICK LEAVE
​
In recent times, the HSE Sick Leave Scheme has halved down to three months full pay three months half. A deferred period income protection plan provides a benefit that commences when your HSE benefit reduces and ultimately ceases. This ensures a continuity of salary so that you can maintain your standard of living and focus on your recovery.
​
If you are employed, we will work with any sick payment arrangements you might have to provide maximum salary continuance. A deferred period policy starts when your employer benefit ceases, ensuring that you are covered for every eventuality. Whether its a medium term accident / illness or a longer term serious condition, you will be covered as long as you are unable to work.

OUR PARTNERS & PROVIDERS
Dr Vladka Vilimkova
Dr Vladka was diagnosed with cancer in late 2012 and has undergone four extensive surgeries since. Unfortunately the treatments have resulted in a significant loss of arm/shoulder mobility, rendering her unable to work for the foreseeable future. Vladka’s Income Protection policy has provided her with a weekly income since her first diagnosis and will continue to do so as long as she is unable to work.
Dr Emma O'Hara
When I applied for income protection in 2013, I was in perfect health. Then suddenly I found myself laid up with broken bones from a serious car accident. I had barely paid my first premium, but Omega honoured their word. I never had to worry about payment, and the claim form was simple and quick. It was one major headache I didn’t have to deal with. I would recommend every professional to seek income protection, because you never know what lies ahead.
Simon Coughlan
I like to keep fit and healthy and it is rare that I am unable to work due to illness. However in recent months I have claimed on two occasions for 2 days of lost income as a self employed business owner. The claims process was swift, DG kept me informed and the claim was paid within 7-10 days. Overall I have found the support provided by DG and Omega Financial to be excellent and would recommend highly.

As a general dental practitioner who owns a mixed private/GMS practice I thought it was essential to have Day One income protection against a rainy day. Practices have so many hidden costs that a considerable down time would put real strain on the every day running of the practice so I felt Day One protection was essential. Covid-19 was one of those down times. Overnight the practice shut its doors and all sources of income were lost.
