Assisting spouse - A higher or a lower pension as a couple

Will you receive a higher or a lower pension as a couple when you retire?

Collaborating spouses must have the full opportunity to build-up their own right to retirement benefits. On the other hand, the introduction of the maxi-status should not worsen the situation for the collaborating spouse and his or her self-employed partner with respect to pension rights.
The status of the collaborating spouse will not have as a consequence that the sum of the retirement pension of the self-employed partner and that of the collaborating spouse is smaller than the family pension to which they were entitled according to the old regulations.
Therefore those who would have benefited more from the old regulations than from the new status will receive a pension according to the old regulations.
