To which allowances are you entitled? And is the health care or housing benefit not too high or low? Calculate it on Toeslagen.nl and request the allowances there as well.
Why check?
You must apply for benefits such as rent and healthcare allowance or childcare allowance yourself. It is therefore very important to calculate what you are entitled to. Otherwise you might just miss out on money. If you already receive a subsidy from the government, it is better to check and change your data every year. Because if you get too much, you have to repay the allowance later.
