Ms. Förster brought an action before Alkmaar District Court. That action was held to be unfounded on two grounds. First, Ms. Förster could no longer be regarded as a worker since she had not had any real and genuine employment during that time period. Second, Ms. Förster could not claim entitlement to a maintenance grant because she had not been integrated into Dutch society. Ms. Förster appealed against that judgement before the Centrale Raad van Beroep. She claimed that she was already sufficiently integrated into Dutch society to be able to claim a maintenance grant. In the alternative, she submitted that she
