Scottish Widows in their own words
At Scottish Widows we’re here to support customers for the long term. Established in 1815, we paid our first claim in 1816.
We provide comprehensive cover with simplicity at its heart. To make it simpler to explain our comprehensive cover, we’ve grouped our conditions into 5 categories using our innovative body concept. This makes it easier for advisers to explain and means that clients can see at a glance what they are covered for.
Our research has shown that only 2% of the UK public believe between 91-100% of all claims are paid out. The reality is we paid out on over 98% of claims in 2019.
At Scottish Widows we focus on what matters most to you and your clients and do all we can to make the complex simple.

Supporting client’s wellbeing
Scottish Widows have partnered with Dr Mike Mosley to signpost the benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle to advisers and in turn their customers. There’s a series of guides and a 3 part Vodcast series with Dr Mike, Johnny Timpson and Senior Underwriter Helen Dick who cover the benefits of diet, exercise and sleep quality.
Scottish Widows Care
RedArc provides a support service that gives clients and their immediate family practical advice and emotional support to get them through difficult times.

The service includes where possible a face-to-face second medical opinion service which provides a specialist report in the post as well as support for mental health through counselling sessions.
