OA is the main condition leading to hip and knee replacement surgery. The financial consequences can be detrimental due to high treatment costs and loss of income from reduced capacity to work. An estimated 19,000 primary carers (aged 15-64) are out of the workforce due to caring responsibilities.
People with Osteoarthritis take an average of 72 days off work per year. Income Protection provides 70% income replacement during recovery and treatment periods.
