RE:   TD Waterhouse Variable Annuity                                            
Fortis Benefits Insurance Company                                   
File No. 33-63829                                                   

Dear Sir/Madam:                                                                 

This opinion is furnished in connection with the registration under the         
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of a certain Variable Annuity Contract (the 
"Contract") that will be offered and sold by Fortis Benefits Insurance Company  
(the "Company"). I have examined such documents (including the Form S-2         
Registration Statement) and reviewed such questions of law as I considered      
necessary and appropriate, and on the basis of such examination and review, it  
is my opinion that:                                                             

1.   The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing as a stock
   life insurance company under the laws of Minnesota and is duly authorized
by the Insurance Department of the State of Minnesota to issue the    
Contract.                                                             

2.   The form of the Contract that will be issued by the Company has been filed 
     in states where it is eligible for approval and upon issuance will be valid
and binding upon the Company.                                         

I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Form S-2       
Registration Statement and to the reference to my name under the heading "Legal 
Opinions" in the prospectus included as a part of such Form S-2.                

Sincerely,                                                                      

/s/ Douglas R. Lowe                                                             

Douglas R. Lowe
