With you all the way
We’re proud to partner with Macmillan Cancer Support
If you or a loved one are living with or affected by cancer, the diagnosis alone can be overwhelming. To help you move forward, we’ve partnered with Macmillan to support our customers affected by cancer and help to minimise any impact on your finances.
Macmillan Cancer Support do whatever it takes to support everyone affected by cancer, with a range of practical, emotional, and personal support, for as long as it’s needed.
We’re working with Macmillan in a number of different ways and there is a wide variety of support available:
- If you're being affected by the financial impacts of cancer Scottish Widows can refer you to Macmillan's experts for advice and guidance.
- If you are diagnosed with cancer and receiving support from a Macmillan Cancer Nurse Specialist we may be able to settle your life or critical illness claim quicker by working directly with them.
- If you have been diagnosed with cancer, we may be able to pay up to £3000 upfront while your Critical Illness claim is being processed.
- We’ve ensured that over 800 customers received support from Macmillan’s Financial Guidance team since the launch of this partnership since 2021, with over £300,000 worth of financial support being identified for these individuals, further helping them in their time of need.
Macmillan has trained our colleagues so we can be there to support you when you need it most. It’s important to us to understand the impact cancer can have on our customers’ lives. And the training, tools and guidance Macmillan has provided us allows our colleagues to make sure you get the right help for you.
