Income Protection Discounts

Reports suggest that being a horse vet carries one of the highest risk of injury of any civilian occupation in the UK, which is why we've partnered with PG Mutual to offer all UK members a discount on a new Income Protection Insurance policy.

How would you replace your income if you had to take time off due to illness or injury?

Whether you’re running your own equine practice, working locum or employed in a busy practice, one thing is true: if you can’t work, your income eventually 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.

When you’re unable to work through illness or injury, the last thing you need is financial stress. That’s where Income Protection Plus comes in.

 

What is Income Protection?

Income protection Plus can help you stay financially secure, when you’re unable to work due to an injury or illness. It could help keep you going financially over periods spent out of work whether short-term, or long-term, up until you are ready to return to work or reach age 65, whichever comes first.

 

Why BEVA members choose Income Protection Plus:

Comprehensive cover. Protect up to 70% of your pre-tax income with a plan that suits your  career, schedule, and budget.

Long-term security, on your terms. Your plan can pay until you’re 65 or until you’re ready to return to work. It’s not just income protection – it’s peace of mind.

Flexible start dates, you’re in control. Choose when your cover begins: day one, seven, 14, or after month one, three, six or 12. You decide what works for you.   

Tailor your protection to fit your needs. Whether you’re a self-employed, run your own practice, or as part of a practice team, you can adapt your plan to your schedule and budget.

Support when you need it most. We understand the pressures of equine work. Our team is just a phone call away, ready to help when life takes an unexpected turn.

Wellbeing support for you too. Your membership currently includes free access to a 24/7 virtual GP and confidential counselling – because care starts with you. You can access both anytime via the Health Hero app or online. 

Help getting back to work, when you're ready. If vocational rehabilitation could support your recovery, we’ll offer it, with your wellbeing and readiness at the heart of the plan.

 

The Plus in Income Protection Plus

PG Mutual’s Income Protection Plus plan also includes a profit share feature that aims to pay you cash lump sum at the end of your policy, whether you claim or not. Find out more.
