MantelzorgcomplimentPLUS

Heerlen expresses its appreciation to the many family caregivers who care for their loved one day in and day out. Are you a caretaker (in need of help) and would you like to thank your caretaker(s) for the Health provided? Then you can apply for the MantelzorgcomplimentPLUS . In May, we automatically pay out the Mantelzorgcompliment to people who also received it last year. Has something changed since last year? Then apply for it yourself. You can apply as of June.
