Service.

We're best for service. 

At Legal & General, we continue to invest, develop and commit to growing our service capacity so that YOU receive the best possible service that we can offer. Winning Best Protection Service at the Investment Life & Pensions Moneyfacts Awards 2012 was a reminder that in a challenging environment, service really does set us apart. We keep things simple - you want great service and we believe we provide that. See how we deliver that to you:  

YOU FIRST. 

Last year the Gender Directive presented the industry with huge challenges. We introduced some changes to stay in control, provide you with certainty and meet the requirements of the new law. We hope you'll be happy to hear that some of the key service changes are here to stay. Here's what comes as standard when you place business with us: 

• Our financially qualified, UK based Service Teams provide a dedicated service to deal with all your protection queries. We offer a ’one-stop’ service to cover queries about both new applications and existing policies. You’ll get the right information, quickly and efficiently. Our team members are all trained to put you, the customer, at the heart of everything we do. 
• We'll continue to contact doctors and offer to pay up front for the Subject Access Report (SAR), helping to reduce the length of time to process some applications. 
• We'll continue to inform you of underwriting decisions sooner with our new OLP Connect automated underwriting emails. This short email will simply tell you that a decision has been made and includes a link that will take you through to the case details on OLP Connect. 
• Currently 77% of online protection applicants receive an immediate decision on OLP Connect using the interactive underwriting route and 45% of interactive underwriting applications complete straight away, providing the start date is known. 
• We have one of the largest underwriting teams in Europe, with 168 underwriters operating across five UK sites, to ensure that your business is assessed swiftly and smoothly. Our Medical Underwriting Technical Advice Line (MUTAL) is committed to giving you excellent underwriting technical support before you submit applications. 
• Our online Direct Debit Reinstatement process can help reinstate your client's policy if their premiums are in arrears or their direct debit has bounced. This quick and simple online process can help provide a better service for your clients. With the introduction of gender-neutral rates we have made some important changes to the reinstatement of protection policies - find out more.
• Register for our Early Warning System which can help you save missed client protection premiums. This system will provide you with details of potential client, policy and commission losses and give you the requirements to reinstate the policy. In 2011, we paid out over £22 million in claims to clients whose policies were saved by our Early Warning System. 
• Our claims team, trained by the Samaritans, help to ensure all your client’s claims are managed with both compassion and competence. Read about our claims payment record. 

EVERY DAY MATTERS. 

We know speed and efficiency are important to you so when it comes to service we give you the support when you need it most, through our staff, systems and processes. You and your clients can expect excellence in our service every day.
