\ Roger Derikx, one of the victims of the Allowance scandal, is a guest at Today Inside and tells his story. See video above.

Since 2010, Roger's family has had to deal with collections from the tax authorities. The associated tensions and financial problems led to a divorce. Roger's ex-wife was recognized as a victim, but Roger was not. “We were payment partners. My former partner earned a little more - that was about tens - so she became the applicant. The applicant received the 30,000 euro,” Roger explains.

“I did see the bottom,” Roger continues. How did he get back on his feet? “Get up, straighten your back and keep going. I brought two children into this world, I can't give up.”
