Employee guide to claims
Your employer's Unum Income Protection policy provides support if you experience an illness or injury which impacts your ability to work.
Claims information
This page gives you a brief overview of our claims process, including what we need to consider a claim, what happens if you return to work part-time and the available vocational rehabilitation support and return to work programmes. It also covers how other income you receive may affect our benefits and our complaints process.
Overview of our claims process

2. When and how to tell us about a claim
Your employer will notify us that you are unable to work. You don’t need to contact us until your employer has done this.
3. How are claims assessed?
The evidence we’ll need to assess and process the claim.
