A spokesman for Scottish Widows said every effort was being made to ensure that the distribution is fair, including asking members to vote next month to extend windfalls to people who are excluded under current rules.
Scottish Widows has already said that people who applied in writing before midnight on June 22 will be entitled to windfalls as if they had already become members before that cut-off date, provided their policies are still in force when the demutualisation becomes effective next year.
Scottish Widows does not know what the biggest individual entitlement will be as people with more than one with-profits policy will receive several variable payments.
