     ⚠️ Critical Issue:
        DGA pensioen in eigen beheer was frozen 2017
        No new accruals possible
        Existing commitments: Several options
     
     📊 Your Options:
     
     1. Keep Frozen Commitment:
        • Liability remains on BV balance sheet
        • Annual actuarial revaluation
        • Payment at retirement age
        • Mortality risk with BV

     • If BV has sufficient assets: Keep or ODV
     • If planning BV sale: Consider transfer
     • If health concerns: Keep DB benefits
     
     Annual Planning:
     • Verify actuarial assumptions
     • Monitor BV liquidity
     • Coordinate with personal planning
     
     📋 Action Items:
