If, for example, I have a broken leg in traction for 2 months and I am fully recovered when I leave hospital, will I still be paid convalescence benefit?
Yes. As long as you are in hospital for 7 days or more you will automatically be paid convalescence benefit. So, if you are in hospital for 2 months on a Gold Plan, you would automatically be paid £4,800 (£3,200 for 2 months in hospital and £1,600 for 2 months recovering at home, whether or not you actually need to recover at home).
