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.
Only one person can have their parenting periods counted towards their pension. Adoptive, step or foster parents can also apply for additional pension points. The same goes for grandparents or relatives, but only if the child lives there permanently as a foster child. The DRV answers questions on the topic on the free service telephone on 0800 10 00 48 00.
