Dentists’ Provident paid 98.5% of new income protection claims in 2025

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.

“As a member-owned and led mutual, it has been the sole objective of Dentists’ Provident for over 110 years to help dental professionals achieve financial security during periods of illness or injury. I am very proud of how many of our members we helped during 2025. The proportion of new claims paid is a testament to the benefits of an integrated approach to underwriting and claims. By following a thorough underwriting process, we seek to minimise issues for our members when they really need us,” says Raj Rattan, Non-executive Director of Dentists’ Provident.

Giles Kidner, Chairman at Dentists’ Provident adds: “We make a considerable investment in our plans and our service, to give our members confidence that they have a dependable income protection plan that works for them. Our position as an industry leader, consistently low levels of complaints and high claim payment rates are a testament to the benefits of doing things properly. It’s about doing what is right, not only for our current membership, but also for future generations.”
