Health insurance, allowances and student finance — what you suddenly have to handle yourself.
On the day someone turns eighteen, administratively more changes than most young people and their parents expect. Health insurance becomes their own responsibility, child benefit stops, care allowance can begin, and those going to study have to deal with student finance. Each of these has its own application and its own deadline.
The 18wijzer will be the overview of what changes and what has to be arranged by yourself, written for someone doing this for the first time.

Frequently asked questions
When will this be available?
The house is under preparation; nothing is running yet.
What happens automatically and what doesn't?
Almost nothing happens automatically. Child benefit stops by itself, but health insurance, care allowance and student finance all three have to be arranged by yourself.
How this platform is built
Like every platform from Theos Group: on one shared foundation, in own management, with its own automatic administrator — here Brainiac — that runs the daily rounds, reports faults and writes the daily report. What we learn from one system appears in all the others the following week.
