                       Supplement, dated January 14, 2005,
                                       to
              The Consultant Solutions Variable Annuity Prospectus
                                dated May 1, 2004

This supplement amends certain disclosure contained in the above-referenced
prospectus for certain variable annuity contracts ("Contracts") issued by
Lincoln Benefit Life Company.

We have received notice that the Board of Trustees ("Board") of PIMCO Advisors
VIT ("Fund") has approved the liquidation, on or about April 29, 2005 (the
"Closing Date"), of the following Fund portfolios:

            NFJ Small Cap Value Portfolio PEA Science and Technology Portfolio
            (collectively the "NFJ and PEA Portfolios")

The Board based its decision, in part, upon the fact that the NFJ and PEA
Portfolios are relatively small in asset size and have failed to garner
significant exposure in the variable contract market. In addition, the Board
believes the outlook for future growth of the NFJ and PEA Portfolios is not
encouraging.

Due to the liquidation of the NFJ and PEA Portfolios, we will no longer accept
new premiums for investment in, nor will we permit transfers to, the NFJ Small
Cap Value Portfolio Sub-Account or the PEA Science and Technology Portfolio
Sub-Account ("NFJ and PEA Sub-Accounts") on or after April 29, 2005. Because the
NFJ and PEA Sub-Accounts will no longer be offered as an investment alternative
as of the Closing Date, you may wish to transfer, prior to April 29, 2005 some
or all of your interests in the NFJ and PEA Sub-Accounts to the other investment
alternatives currently offered by your Contracts.

Any value remaining in the NFJ and PEA Sub-Accounts will be transferred
automatically, as of the Closing Date, to the PIMCO VIT Money Market
Sub-Account, an investment alternative already available under your Contracts.

Prior to the Closing Date, you may transfer some or all of your interests that
are presently allocated to the NFJ and PEA Sub-Accounts to other investment
alternatives currently offered under your Contracts. These transfers are not
subject to a transfer fee and will not count towards the 12 transfers you can
make per Contract Year.

If you currently have allocations made to the NFJ and PEA Sub-Accounts through
automatic additions, automatic portfolio rebalancing, dollar cost averaging or
systematic withdrawal programs, your allocations in these programs will also
need to be changed. If you do not change these allocations to other investment
alternatives currently available under your Contract, any allocations to the NFJ
and PEA Sub-Accounts will be automatically allocated, as of the Closing Date, to
the PIMCO VIT Money Market Variable Sub-Account.

If you currently have the Accumulation Benefit Option, Guarantee Option 2, Model
Portfolio Option 2, and are invested in the NFJ and/or PEA Sub-Accounts, your
investments in those Sub-Accounts will be transferred automatically, as of the
Closing Date, to the PIMCO VIT Money Market Sub-Account. The percentage
allocation investment requirements for Model Portfolio Option 2 are 10% in
Category A, 20% in Category B, 50% in Category C and 20% in Category D. The
PIMCO VIT Money Market Sub-Account is a Category A Sub-Account and the NFJ and
PEA Sub-Accounts are Category D Sub-Accounts. Failure to meet the investment
requirements may result in cancellation of the Accumulation Benefit Option.

If your interests in the NFJ and PEA Sub-Accounts are transferred automatically
on the Closing Date to the PIMCO VIT Money Market Variable Sub-Account, for 60
days following the Closing Date, you may transfer your interests in the PIMCO
VIT Money Market Variable Sub-Account to any other investment alternative(s)
available under your Contracts, subject to the investment requirements of the
Accumulation Benefit Option. This transfer is not subject to a transfer fee and
will not count towards the 12 transfers you can make per Contract Year.

We will send you a confirmation that shows the amount that we credited to the
PIMCO VIT Money Market Variable Sub-Account or to the investment alternative
that you chose and the date of the transaction. For additional information on
how to transfer to another investment alternative, or how to make a change to
your current allocation(s), please contact your financial representative or call
our Customer Service Center at the number listed below.

Attached, as Appendix A, is a list of the Portfolios and Fixed Account
Investment Alternatives currently available under your Contract.

Attached, as Appendix B is a list of the Portfolios currently available under
Category D of Model Portfolio Option 2, Guarantee Option 2, of the Accumulation
Benefit Option.

Please keep this supplement for future reference together with your prospectus.
