RE:  Rule 24f-2 Notice - CUNA Mutual Life Variable Account
         File No. 33-19718 - For the Period Ended 12/31/96

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion letter  pertains to the Rule 24f-2 Notice for the flexible  premium
variable life insurance  policies (the Policies)  issued by the CUNA Mutual Life
Variable  Account  (the  Account)  and CUNA Mutual Life  Insurance  Company (the
Company). It is my opinion that:

1.       The Company is a corporation  duly organized and validly  existing as a
         mutual life  insurance  company under the laws of the state of Iowa and
         is duly  authorized  by the  Insurance  Division of the  Department  of
         Commerce in the state of Iowa to issue the Policies.

2.       The  Account  is  a  duly  authorized  and  existing  separate  account
         established  pursuant to the  provisions of Section  508A.1 of the Iowa
         Code.

3.       Unless provided to the contrary under the Policies, that portion of the
         assets  of  the  Account  equal  to the  reserves  and  other  contract
         liabilities  with  respect to the Account will not be  chargeable  with
         liabilities  arising  out of any other  business  that the  Company may
         conduct.

4.       The Policies, when issued in accordance with the current prospectus for
         the variable universal life product,  constitute legal,  validly issued
         and binding obligations of the Company.

This opinion  letter,  or a copy thereof,  may be used as an exhibit to the Rule
24f-2  Notice for the period  ending  December 31, 1996 for the CUNA Mutual Life
Variable Account.

Sincerely,

/s/  Barbara L. Secor

Assistant Vice President & Associate General Counsel
