Legal & General Wellbeing Support
Life insurance explained
What is Legal & General Wellbeing Support?
We all face hard times in life, from bereavement to illness, and we could all do with a reassuring chat from time to time. Legal & General recognise that they have a special responsibility to protect policyholders' health and wellbeing.
L&G have partnered with RedArc Assured Limited, whose registered nurses can provide practical and emotional assistance to enhance health and wellbeing. Together, they offer a range of wellbeing support services that policyholders can access if they're going through a challenging time.
The service is phone-based, with calls as often as needed. It is available to the policyholder, their partner, and their children living at home — and you do not need to make a claim to access it.
