How to claim sick pay benefit
To make a claim for sick pay benefit the claimant must
- be a member of the Scheme (ie, registered in the Scheme and under 65)
- have paid a minimum of 13 contributions into the Scheme in the 6 months immediately before the first day of illness that you are claiming for
- be, or have been, employed with a participating employer during the period covered by the claim; sick pay benefit for any period of unemployment cannot be claimed for.
- make the claim within 2 months of the date illness or injury began.
The claimant needs to fill in an SP1 form (click on the form below to download a copy) and provide us with their bank details. Their employer fills in the employer section and send the completed form with medical evidence to the the Sick Pay department.
When the claim has been approved for payment a payment will be sent to the claimant's bank account as per the details supplied on the SP1 form. When the claim is processed we will send an email to the claimant advising them to log on to the CWPS Member Online system to view their Sick Pay benefit payslip.
If the claimant does not have an email address or is not registered for Member Online Access we will send the Sick Pay benefit by post.
