Yes! ‘VDW Credits’ can only be awarded for a maximum of 5 years. Different periods of work as a VDW are aggregated for the purpose of calculating the 5 years. For example, if you were a VDW for three years previously, and wish to go abroad as a VDW for another three years, you will only qualify for ‘VDW Credits’ for two years of your second assignment. Where the period of your assignment abroad exceeds 5 years, you will, where possible, be awarded ‘VDW Credits’ for the period that is most beneficial to you.

Tá, ní féidir ‘Creidmheasanna OFD’ a bhronnadh ach ar feadh 5 bliana ar a mhéad. Déantar tréimhsí éagsúla oibre mar OFD a chomhiomlánú d’fhonn na 5 bliana a áireamh. Mar shampla, má bhí tú i d’OFD ar feadh trí bliana roimhe sin, agus más mian leat dul thar lear mar OFD ar feadh trí bliana eile, ní chaileoidh tú do ‘Creidmheasanna OFD’ ach ar feadh dhá bhliain de do dhara sannadh oibre. I gcás ina dtéann tréimhse do shannta oibre thar lear os cionn 5 bliana, bronnfar ‘Creidmheasanna OFD’ ort, sa mhéid gur féidir é, i leith na tréimhse is mó a théann chun tairbhe duit.
