                        Supplement, dated April 4, 2005,
                                       to
                  The Consultant I Variable Annuity Prospectus
                                dated May 1, 2004

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

We have received notice that the shareholders of the Strong Opportunity Fund II
- - Investor Class and the Strong Mid Cap Growth Fund II - Investor Class ("Strong
Portfolios") approved the reorganization of the Strong Portfolios into the Wells
Fargo Advantage Opportunity Fund and the Wells Fargo Advantage Discovery Fund
("Wells Fargo Portfolios"), respectively.

On April 8, 2005 ("Conversion Date"), the Strong Opportunity Fund II - Investor
Class will be merged into the Wells Fargo Advantage Opportunity Fund, and the
Strong Mid Cap Growth Fund II - Investor Class will be merged into the Wells
Fargo Advantage Discovery Fund. On the Conversion Date, we will change the name
of the Strong Portfolio sub-accounts to reflect the change in the underlying
portfolio. Contract owners will receive a confirmation of the transaction
reflecting this change.

If you currently have allocations made to the Strong Portfolio sub-accounts
through automatic additions, automatic portfolio rebalancing or dollar cost
averaging programs, any future allocations will continue to be made to those
sub-accounts under their new name as of the Conversion Date.

All reference to the Strong Opportunity Fund II, Inc., Strong Variable Insurance
Funds, Inc, and the Strong Portfolios are deleted on page 1 of the prospectus.
The following information is added to page 1:

Wells Fargo Variable Trust Funds:  Wells Fargo Advantage  Discovery Fund , Wells
Fargo Advantage Opportunity Fund

The table on page 7 that shows the minimum and maximum total annual operating
expenses charged by the Portfolios is deleted in its entirety and replaced by
the following:



                                                                                               


                                                      Minimum                                     Maximum

Total Annual Portfolio Operating
Expenses(1) (expenses that are
deducted from Portfolio assets,
which may include management fees,
distribution and/or service (12b-1)
fees, and other expenses)(without
waivers or reimbursements)                             0.10%                                       3.89%



(1)Expenses are shown as a percentage of Portfolio average daily net assets
before any waiver or reimbursement as of December 31, 2004.


The "Examples" on page 7 are deleted in their entirety and replaced by the
following:

Example 1

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
Contracts with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These
costs include Contract owner transaction expenses, Contract fees, Separate
Account annual expenses, and Portfolio fees and expenses and assumes no
transfers or exchanges were made. The Example shows the dollar amount of
expenses that you would bear directly or indirectly if you:

o    Invested $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated, o earned a
     5% annual return on your investment,

o    surrendered  your Contract,  or you began  receiving  income payments for a
     specified  period of less than 120 months,  at the end of each time period,
     and,

o    elected  the  Enhanced  Death and  Income  Benefit  Riders  II (with  total
     Separate Account expenses of 1.80%).


The first line of the example assumes that the maximum fees and expenses of any
of the Portfolios are charged. The second line of the example assumes that the
minimum fees and expenses of any of the Portfolios are charged. Your actual
expenses may be higher or lower than those shown below.

The example does not include any taxes or tax penalties you may be required to
pay if you surrender your Contract.



                                                                                                    

                                                                1 Year           3 Years          5 Years       10 Years

Costs Based on Maximum Annual Portfolio Expenses                $1,215           $2,344           $3,362         $5,878
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Costs Based on Minimum Annual Portfolio Expenses                 $825            $1,215           $1,543         $2,554
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Example 2
This Example uses the same assumptions as Example 1 above, except that it
assumes you decided not to surrender your Contract, or you began receiving
income payments for a specified period of at least 120 months, at the end of
each time period.


                                                                1 Year           3 Years          5 Years         10Years

Costs Based on Maximum Annual Portfolio Expenses                 $618            $1,834            $3,022         $5,878
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Costs Based on Minimum Annual Portfolio Expenses                 $230             $705             $1,203         $2,554
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Explanation of Expense Examples
Please remember that you are looking at examples and not a representation of
past or future expenses. Your rate of return may be higher or lower than 5%,
which is not guaranteed. The examples do not assume that any Portfolio expense
waivers or reimbursement arrangements are in effect for the periods presented.
Examples 1 and 2 assume the election of the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit
Riders II (total Separate Account expenses of 1.80%). If these riders were not
elected, the expense figures shown would be slightly lower. The Examples reflect
the Free Withdrawal amounts, if any, and an annual Contract maintenance charge
of $35.

                                     PART II

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 14. Other Expenses of issuance and Distribution.

Pursuant to Item 511 of Regulation S-K, the Registrant hereby represents that
the following expenses totaling approximately $ 31,000.00 will be incurred or
are anticipated to be incurred in connection with the issuance and distribution
of the securities to be registered: registration fees - $0.00; cost of printing
and engraving - $ 25,000.00 (approximate); legal fees - $ 5,000.00
(approximate), and accounting fees - $ 1,000.00 (approximate). All amounts are
estimated, for the period ending April 4, 2005, for the continuous offering of
shares, but are not deducted from proceeds.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Articles of Incorporation of Lincoln Benefit Life Company (Depositor)
provide for the indemnification of its directors and officers against expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement as incurred by such person, so
long as such person shall not have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of a duty to the Company. This right of indemnity
is not exclusive of other rights to which a director or officer may otherwise be
entitled.

The By-Laws of ALFS, Inc. (Distributor) provide that the corporation will
indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation to the full
extent of Delaware law. In general, Delaware law provides that a corporation may
indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent against expenses, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement if that individual acted in good faith and
in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
No indemnification shall be made for expenses, including attorney's fees, if the
person shall have been judged to be liable to the corporation unless a court
determines such person is entitled to such indemnity. Expenses incurred by such
individual in defending any action or proceeding may be advanced by the
corporation so long as the individual agrees to repay the corporation if it is
later determined that he or she is not entitled to such indemnification.

Under the terms of the form of Underwriting Agreement, the Depositor agrees to
indemnify the Distributor for any liability that the latter may incur to a
Contract owner or party-in-interest under a Contract, (a) arising out of any act
or omission in the course of or in connection with rendering services under such
Agreement, or (b) arising out of the purchase, retention or surrender of a
Contract; provided that the Depositor will not indemnify the Distributor for any
such liability that results from the latter's willful misfeasance, bad faith or
grow negligence, or from the reckless disregard by the latter of its duties and
obligations under the Underwriting Agreement.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the forgoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suite or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
          post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

          (i)  To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
               Securities Act of 1933;

          (ii) To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after
               the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
               recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
               in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
               information set forth in the registration statement;

          (iii)To include any material information with respect to the plan of
               distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
               statement or any material change to such information in the
               registration statement;

     (2)  That, for the determining of any liability under the Securities Act of
          1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
          registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
          the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
          initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
          of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
          termination of the offering.

(b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
     determining any liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing
     of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section
     15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by
     reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
     registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
     offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
     bona fide offering thereof.

(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
     of 1933 may be permitted in directors, officers and controlling persons of
     the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
     registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
     Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
     expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
     claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
     by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
     controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
     action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
     controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
     registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
     settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
     jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
     public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
     adjudication of such issue.






                                   SIGNATURES

     As required by the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant has reasonable
grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3
and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment to be signed on its behalf by
the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Lincoln and State of
Nebraska on April 4, 2005.
