What is Umbrella Benefits?
It’s our package of four added-value services and optional benefits that are ready to help protect against the unexpected – like carrying a brolly in case of rain.
Wellbeing Support – Gives your clients access to a registered nurse from RedArc Assured Limited, for personalised help at the end of the phone. Some of the situations that nurses can support with include menopause, mental health support, recovery from illness or injury and financial support.
Access is included as standard across all protection products.
Rehabilitation Support Service- It gives your clients access to our in-house team of specialist healthcare professionals, who’ll support their quicker return to health and work.
Included as standard across income protection products.
Fracture Cover*- If your clients have an accident and sustain one of the 31 specified injuries, they can make a claim to receive a cash sum. The pay-out could help meet some of the extra bills associated with the injury.
Available at an additional cost of £5.90 a month.

Care Concierge
Care Concierge is designed for customers who are in need of support when it comes to navigating the UK Care system, this could be because they have elderly relatives who are becoming less independent or loved ones who are facing a disability or degenerative condition. We are adding this service onto our retail protection products to support our customers who may be in this position now or in the future, this service is suitable for the overall Target Market for each of our products. Adding this service does not alter the target market of any of our products nor does it change the fair value assessment of our products.
The UK’s care system is complex, fragmented, and underfunded.
In 2021 Legal & General took steps to address the later life care challenge and launched the L&G Care Service, helping people to understand, find and fund later life care.
Designed for customers who face caring responsibilities, the core principles of the service are to support consumers at a time of crisis and connect them to expert guidance related to providing care for another person through a telephone support helpline and digital platform.
Within L&G Retail protection, we are looking to offer this service to New Customers purchasing a retail protection product from the launch date.
The service will be available across all products, for customers and their family to utilise if and when they need it.
• Life Insurance
• Critical illness
• Income Protection
• Whole of Life Insurance
• Guaranteed Over 50’s
• Relevant Life Insurance
This service can be used by the life assured and their family, including their partner, children and parents. The Freephone helpline will be available Monday – Friday 9am to 5pm
