In the event of problems:

If you experience a problem with your pension, are in dispute with or have a complaint against a service, you can contact the Office of the Pensions Ombudsman, which has been established to give all citizens objective support with regard to pensions.

Early retirement

Some private sector workers can take early retirement.

For more information on early retirement (FR/NL), contact the National Employment Agency (Onem).

Full-time workers who have reached a certain age can go part-time and take part-time early retirement.

Life goes on

Life goes on after your retirement of course. Some people even get a new lease of life. For suggestions on how to spend your time, see the Brussels for senior citizens pages elsewhere on this website. See our Health & Safety pages for more practical information for senior citizens.
