Following the Secretary of State for Health’s announcement of a new life assurance scheme for eligible frontline health and social care workers during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, information on the NHS and Social Care Coronavirus Life Assurance Scheme 2020 for Wales is now available on the NHSBSA website.
You can access more information on the scheme, as well as information on the scheme in England, via NHS and Social Care Coronavirus Life Assurance Scheme 2020.
The NHS and Social Care Coronavirus Life Assurance Scheme is independent of the NHS Pension scheme. Any lump sum or pension benefits payable to the relatives or dependents of NHS Pension scheme members will continue to be processed and paid as before.
