In order that claims reported to the Trustee will not be prejudiced due to late notification, you must notify Echelon of any claim or potential claim for the period 31 August 2008 to 31 August 2009 within 180 days from the date of injury.
The JDT Arrangement set up for the period 31 August 2008 to 31 August 2009 will close 6 months after the expiry date (i.e. by 28 February 2010).
Please note that this relates to claims notified under the Scheme Cover only and does not apply to the Insurance Cover whose time limits are determined by the Insurance Policy and relative legislation.
What are the costs for managing Personal Accident claims?
Claims are managed by Echelon who charge a fee. This fee is paid out of the total annual contributions to the Capital Benefits, Non-Medicare Medical Expenses and Loss of Income Programmes.
Therefore the claimant or his/her club is not directly charged a claims management cost.
