    Just one other thing -

    If your OH is a 40% tax payer, the chances are that if his salary dropped to 65% of his normal gross salary, then he may well no longer be a higer rate tax payer. So he would get proprtionally more of the payment (sorry I bet that is as clear as mud - but what I mean is he wouldn't be quite as much worse off as it seems at first glance)

    Hope this is an academic discussion and OP is in good health!

    BUT if the company is providing the benefit at no cost to your OH, then it is still worth having,

    oh absolutely; but its worth knowing in advance exactly how much you might get.

    he is in good health atm, albeit slightly uneasy about the level of interest I have in his health cover and life assurance - think he will be checking for tripwires at the top of the stairs ...
