The Pension and Benefit Board (PUR)

It is the statutory duty of the PUR to:

  • take decisions on applications from people who have not been awarded financial support in the past
  • determine policy  
  • advise the SVB in situations where there is no established policy

The PUR must obey the conditions set out in the Dutch Senior Executives in the Public and Semi-Public Sector (Standards for Remuneration) Act (WNT).

The members of the Pension and Benefit Board

The PUR is made up of 5 members taken from the different societal groups covered by the schemes for members of the resistance and victims of war, but they are not V&O clients themselves.

Policy

One of the statutory duties of the PUR is to determine policy. New and amended policy is laid down in the policy rules and the annual report. The policy rules are published every year in the Dutch Government Gazette.

Annual report

The PUR annual report contains an overview of PUR services and administrative activities. 

The PUR’s most important policy decisions can be found in the ‘Appendix: Application of the law and case law', which also includes judgments made by the Central Appeals Tribunal.
