Changing from the old to the Flexible Pension Scheme
If you are admitted in the pension fund before January 1st 2008 and have chosen the Flexible Pension Scheme, different transition scheme will occur.
Children’s pension
- You have kept the right to children’s pension when you receive age pension, for children born before January 1st 2008.
- Children's pension in relation to payments of disability pension in progress, will continue until 21/24 years of age.
- The right to payments until the child turns 24 years old are preserved for children’s pensions, that are already being paid out during the change from old to the flexible pension scheme.
Spousal pension/single persons benefit
You have preserved the right to spousal pension from the old scheme, if you have chosen the flexible pension scheme. But you now have the opportunity to change it.
The single persons benefit has been dropped by the transition to the flexible pension scheme.
