Group Income Protection Cancer Support service
Cancer is a devastating disease. We understand that anyone dealing with a cancer diagnosis may need specialist support, reassurance or care.
Our Cancer Support service is available to those covered by a Zurich Group Income Protection policy. We offer access to tailored support and guidance at any point throughout your cancer journey. Whether you're waiting for a diagnosis, going through treatment, in recovery, or supporting a loved one with cancer, we're here to help.

Here’s how we helped Caroline
Caroline was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer aged 29. Fortunately, her employer had a Group Income Protection policy with Zurich. After a successful clinical trial, Caroline was told there was no longer any evidence of disease, and she was able to return to work.
Discover how Caroline was able to manage her transition back to working with support from rehabilitation nurse Vanessa.
