Our partnership with Scottish Widows

“We are proud that at Scottish Widows we are not only able to provide financial security and peace of mind for our customers, but alongside Macmillan we are also taking on the future together by providing vital support to those living with cancer and their families at a difficult time”. - Rose St Louis, Protection Director at Scottish Widows

Scottish Widows and Macmillan Cancer Support have been working in partnership since 2021 to help ensure that Scottish Widows’ customers living with cancer receive the best possible support. Together we have provided financial support to over 1,130 and unlocked over £400k in financial gains. 

We are working to help Scottish Widows’ customers get faster insurance claims payments through a Macmillan Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS). Scottish Widows Advisors can speak directly to the CNS to confirm an individual’s cancer diagnosis instead of waiting for a medical report from the GP. This can help reduce the time it takes to process an individual critical illness insurance claim.

Scottish Widows colleagues are trained to ensure they have the confidence and know-how to support customers living with and affected by cancer, and to educate them on Macmillan’s services and available support.
