Their claims report for 2025 shows the largest amount paid to an individual claimant was almost £88,000 and whilst the majority of the claims paid were to those aged 46-55 years-old, the youngest claimant was a 27-year-old dental professional.

The report also shows that 98.5% of new claims received a payment. Musculoskeletal disorders (26%), accidents (13%) and cancers (11%) remained as the most significant reasons for claims last year.
