Got a charming letter from the GMS pension scheme this am, if I die in service as a result of #COVID19 the benefit lump sum my wife should have got will now not be paid as #COVID19 is “an act of God”. Nice way to start the day @HSELive @IMO_IRL @ICGPnews @SimonHarrisTD

Um.
Anyone?

UPDATE:
The @IMO_IRL has tonight sent GPs told GPs their spouses/family will not be blocked from receiving an special bonus payment in addition to GMS pension entitlements if the GP dies from “an act of god” which led to a “catastrophic” number of deaths.#thread#coronavirus #covid19
