Nearly 900 lump sum death benefits paid by employer-sponsored group life insurance policies.
Data from Group Risk Development (GRiD) shows that families of employees with group life benefits have been paid a total of over £93 million as a result of the pandemic between 1 January and 31 December last year.
This represents 884 lump sum death benefits claims, plus the capitalised value of seven dependants' pension claims where Covid-19 has been recorded as the primary or secondary cause of death on the death certificate or reported on the claim form, according to GRiD.
