Questioner

Hello, My daughter wants to come and live with us for 1 year and register at our address. We have AOW and a pension. We live in a rented apartment. We do not receive any benefits such as rent and healthcare allowance. Is this possible or will it be at the expense of our AOW/Pension? Thank you in advance for your answer.

Lawyer

A resident child has no effect on your AOW benefit or your pension. You already indicate that you do not receive any allowances, a resident child can indeed influence any allowances. But that is not the case with you.

Questioner

Hello, won't this cause problems later with the rent increase because we will then exceed €43,000 per year with her salary? And according to the law we are then skewed residents.

Lawyer

Households in which one or more residents have reached the AOW-eligible age on the proposed effective date of the rent increase, usually 1 July, will not be subject to the higher rent increase. In that case, the normal statutory rent increase that may be applied each year will apply.
