Personal accident insurance

The personal accident insurance included with membership of Epilepsy Action provides £1,000 worth of cover to each member. That means a total payment of £1,000 in the event of any or all of the following:

• Death resulting from an accident
• Loss of one or more limbs resulting from an accident
• Loss of sight in one or both eyes resulting from an accident
• Loss of speech or loss of hearing resulting from an accident
• Permanent total disablement resulting from an accident.

Please note – In the case of members who are aged under 16 or over 66 the Permanent Total Disablement is excluded unless you are in paid employment.

The scheme features the following benefits:

• £1,000 of cover, free for all Epilepsy Action members
• Age-limit of 85 years

You also have the choice of the four additional policy limits at their standard one-off annual prices:

• Bronze (£2,500 cover limit): £5
