Many pensioners are entitled to more pension points - but these are only available upon application. One pension point is worth 39.32 euros per month in 2024.

Adoptive, step or foster parents can also apply. Only one person can have their parenting periods counted towards their pension. You should therefore think carefully about who should most likely benefit from the pension bonus. The DRV answers questions on the topic on the free service telephone on 0800 10 00papa.
