A 44-year-old woman from Franeker who demanded extra money from the Social Insurance Bank (SVB) because of the late payment of the personal budget has been vindicated by the court.
The court ruled that in this case the same rules apply as in an employment relationship between employer and employee. An employer who pays wages too late, must within days to pay a statutory increase of up to 50 percent of salary.
The district judge decided the woman, who provide personal care to an elderly psychiatric patient, an advance on the statutory increase grant of 1,100 euros.
This statement, according to the woman’s lawyer, Eric van der Goot, major consequences.
“Caregivers can result SVB, to discharge. They need only indicate that the salary is not paid in time, given the existing legislation. A very important result is that health care providers will not direct their employer (the budget) need to talk to the payment of the increase, but that they can approach the SVB. “
Get SVB now deluge of claims?
The storm is just like going to a little lie around the SVB responds NRC editor Enzo van Steenbergen. State Secretary Van Rijn (Health) earlier this month survived a confidence vote.
“But this may be just another storm. With this statement in mind, more people are going to try to get additional money from the SVB. That could lead to a flood of claims. But those claims are only likely to succeed if the PGB claims correctly and completely done and that’s not always the case. There is much wrong in the process. “
PGB problems
Approximately 200,000 people receive a personal budget, in total will cost about 2 billion euros. Since early this year, when the system was reformed, there are major problems. Previous years were paid disabled or chronically sick themselves to buy in their own care. That proved fraud. Therefore, from this year the sick, but the aid workers paid by the authorities. That’s going to often wrong so far. Aid workers often get paid late or not at all. Van Rijn recently announced that after the summer with a claims settlement is for all health care providers who are not paid on time
