Are you retiring or becoming incapacitated for work? In that case, too, you will retain the same rights to the fund. All conditions are stated in the regulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I submit a claim for glasses or contact lenses?
Glasses and contact lenses are not accepted by the fund, so it is not possible to submit a claim for these.
Can I submit a claim below €100?
An application below €100 will not be taken into account and remains for your own cost. If the application is above €100 and fits the regulations of the fund you can submit an application form. The board will judge whether your application will be processed.
Can I submit a claim for costs incurred last year?
Applications for costs incurred during the previous calendar year must be submitted to the Dow Voorzieningenfonds within 5 months following the respective calendar year. This means that applications can be sent in until the end of May of the following year.
