Digidenty app for life certificates
For Dutch people who receive their AOW pension abroad, the Social Insurance Bank (SVB) is introducing a new, user-friendly way to prove that they are still alive. With the innovative Digidentity Wallet app, the process of sending a life certificate is not only simplified, but also accelerated, reducing the need for paper documentation.
SVB sends mail to my old home address
I received an email from the SVB that they have sent a letter of proof of life to my old home address. In addition, I already notified them of a change of address from my new home address last year. Repeated again later, but to this day it has not been looked at and therefore has not been adjusted. In treatment I keep reading about what to do now that you can no longer contact them normally!
Unfortunately, I am no longer working due to health reasons and therefore also receive disability benefits. Do you know what the consequences are or could be if I move to Thailand?
I am not receiving confirmation from the SVB about receiving my 2023 life certificate
I have not received an answer to my questions about receiving my 2023 life certificate for months, have the upload or the documents sent arrived? I asked twice about this, but no answer, not even by email!
The number of people entitled to state pension is increasing, but so are the incomplete benefits
More and more people in the Netherlands receive an incomplete state pension. People who have come to the Netherlands at a later age or who have (temporarily) lived or worked abroad are usually not entitled to a full basic pension from the government.
When applying for my state pension, the SVB also requests information from my wife's ex-partner, why is that?

Due to my conflict with SVB, which has been going on since 2015, I had to sell my house because, while the case was before the courts, SVB stripped me of my residency and I was thrown out of the health insurance and I had to have cash to cover the costs due to chronic ailments. to pay.
Reader question: Health insurer wants to cancel my insurance and demands an investigation from SVB
My experience with Social Insurance Bank in Roermond. I have had my basic health insurance in the Netherlands for 10 years now. I always stay there for a little over four months. But now my health insurer demands a research statement from the Social Insurance Bank. Otherwise they will cancel my health insurance.
