Members of the resistance and victims of war - What does the Pension and Benefit Board do?

If you are applying for the first time for a pension or benefit under the schemes for former members of the resistance or victims of war, the PUR will take a decision on your claim.

As from 1 January 2011, the PUR will consist of a Board of Chambers with 9 members, each with a wealth of experience and expertise regarding the schemes for former members of the resistance and victims of war. These are people who represent the various target groups and who have had personal experience of the war. The SVB implements the decisions taken by the Pension and Benefit Board.

The Pension and Benefit Board also establishes policy rules for the SVB and advises the SVB on claims not covered by existing policy.
