Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]  
Revision of Previously Reported Financial Information
Revision of Previously Reported Financial Information

During the Company’s annual assumption review (or “Unlock”) which was performed in the fourth quarter of 2014, management observed results in the Company’s Universal Life (“UL”) business that did not align with its expectations and, upon further investigation, determined that certain components of the 2013 Unlock contained errors. These errors were subsequently determined to be material to the full year and three months ended December 31, 2013 for the Company’s parent, Phoenix. In addition, Phoenix also concluded that individually identified immaterial errors relating to Phoenix’s second quarter 2014 financial statements which when aggregated with the previously recorded and disclosed out-of-period adjustments, were determined to be material for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. As a result of these errors and in accordance with ASC 250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” Phoenix was required to record all out-of-period errors, whether or not previously identified, in the period to which they relate. Accordingly, in the course of correcting for these errors, some of which resided at the PHL Variable level, the Company also revised its financial statements for the impact of the UL Unlock and each of the remaining out-of-period errors identified in the appropriate periods despite the fact that the Company concluded the errors were not material individually or in the aggregate to PHL Variable. The impact of the revisions to the quarters are presented in expanded format within Note 18. Consistent with its parent, Phoenix, the Company has classified the errors into two categories (i) UL Unlock and (ii) Other Adjustments.

UL Unlock

In accordance with U.S. GAAP and our accounting policy, the Company performs an annual assumption review where management makes a determination of the best estimate assumptions to be used based on a comprehensive review of recent experience studies and industry trends each year. In 2013, the Company revised a number of assumptions, the most significant of which resulted in changes to expected premium persistency and incorporation of mortality improvement in its UL business. The incorporation of these changes resulted in manual updates to various models for which certain errors were subsequently identified in the course of performing analysis between the fourth quarter of 2014 and the prior period results. These errors related to inappropriate implementation of data used in the calculation and approximation of certain product features which then resulted in the incorrect calculation of the ultimate impact of the Unlock for the fourth quarter of 2013.

Other Adjustments

Amounts primarily relate to various out-of-period errors identified which were previously determined not to be material individually or in the aggregate. The Company considered the impacts of each of these errors, many of which were previously identified and subsequently recorded as out-of-period adjustments, as well as subsequently identified errors both individually and in the aggregate and concluded that none were significant for individual categorization herein.

The impact of the correction of these errors on the financial statements is presented in the tables within this Note below.
