Dental, Optical & Osteopathic Claims
Being a mutual society allows us to offer additional benefits to our Sickness and Savings Plans’ members at no extra cost.
They become eligible for Discretionary Benefits for Dental, Optical and Osteopathy treatments after 12 months’ contributions have been paid into a Sickness or Savings Plan.
Our ISA and Health Cash Plan members are not eligible for Discretionary Benefits.
In 2021 and 2022 we paid
nearly £273k in Discretionary Benefits
Please Note
Discretionary Benefits have been paid by TFS for over 30 years and we intend to continue to pay these in the future. However, it is important to point out that they are not guaranteed and could be reduced or taken away at any time.
Any claims for benefits in respect of treatments received outside of the United Kingdom must be supported by a debit or credit card receipt and are at the discretion of the Board of Management.
Children are not eligible for Discretionary Benefits.
