                  Supplement, dated February 25, 2009, to the
                         Prospectus Dated May 1, 2008

                    Consultant Solutions Variable Annuities

                                Liquidation of
           Janus Aspen Series Perkins Small Company Value Portfolio
          (formerly Janus Aspen Series Small Company Value Portfolio)

The purpose of this Supplement is to advise you of certain changes to your
variable annuity contract issued by Lincoln Benefit Life Company.

The Board of Trustees of the Janus Aspen Series (the "Trust") has approved the
liquidation and closing of the Janus Aspen Series Perkins Small Company Value
Portfolio. The Trust expects to complete the liquidation on or around April 30,
2009 (the "Liquidation Date"). After the Liquidation Date, the Janus Aspen
Series Perkins Small Company Value Sub-Account ("Liquidating Sub-Account") will
no longer be available for investment within your variable annuity.

As a result, unless you take further action, on the Liquidation Date any
Contract Value you have allocated to the Liquidating Sub-Account will be
transferred to the PIMCO VIT Money Market Portfolio - Administrative Shares
Sub-Account (the "Money Market Sub-Account") within your variable annuity.

If you wish to transfer your Contract Value out of the Liquidating Sub-Account
and into any other available investment option within your annuity before the
Liquidation Date, you may do so without charge and without the transfer being
applied against your annual free transfers. If you take no action before the
Liquidation Date, during the 60-day period after the Liquidation Date you may
transfer your Contract Value corresponding to the Liquidating Sub-Account out
of the Money Market Sub-Account and into any other available investment option
within your annuity without charge and without the transfer being applied
against your annual free transfers.

For your convenience, we have enclosed a transfer form that you may use to
transfer your Contract Value to another investment option(s). Please refer to
your prospectus or accessallstate.com for detailed information about available
investment options. If you need assistance in choosing investment options,
please contact your financial representative. You may request a transfer via
the internet at accessallstate.com. If you have elected the telephone transfer
privilege, you may transfer your Contract Value by calling the Annuity Service
Center.
