Hi Arien, in some countries these amounts do not correspond to "pensiones" but rather to a kind of (extra salary) bonus called "primas"
    • Wives´ earned allowance; Prima por cónyuge
    • Personal Allowance: prima personal
    • Child Allowance: prima por descendiente
    • Dependant Relative Allowance: prima por dependientes
    • Housekeeper Allowance: bono para servicio de limpieza
The term "Age allowance" might refer to a “pensión de vejez”, but if it is an extra salary bonus I would not call it pensión but prima, since "pensión" is a benefit you receive after retirement or after you reach certain age being unemployed.

Hope this helps
