Bus/Financial - Insurance / pension schemes
Dutch term or phrase: toetsen aan
De hoogte van de uitkering wordt getoetst aan het inkomen van de overblijvende partner.

I note all the previous glossary entries - want to be sure I have can use this variation. Suggested translation:

The benefit level is assessed based on the income of the surviving partner.

Is this OK?
