I was supposed to reach Antwerp Central Station at 17:16 on May 29 from Utrecht Central Station but my first train to Rotterdam Central Station was delayed for 20 minutes so I missed the connecting train to Antwerp. The next NS train was cancelled so I had no choice but took the next one, arriving at 20:05 at Antwerp Central Station, with an almost 3-hour delay. I filed a request for compensation but I did not get a full refund, as stated on the NS website. What can I do?

On the page with the conditions, you'll see:

But as I said, reply to the e-mail about the compensation stating clearly that your delay was over 2 hours.
Hello
Did you request for compensation at NS or NS International?
Where did you buy your ticket(s)? NS or NS International (for the entire trip)?
Step 3 of Request money back is important:
“Step 3. Was the delay part of an international train journey?
When you purchased your ticket from NS International, the delay suffered is part of an international train journey. If you travelled with your OV-chipkaart or debit card, the delay is not part of an international train journey.”
+1If you had a regular international ticket, then you qualify for a 50% refund. Did you get that? If not, then:
- What kind of ticket(s) did you have?
- What refund did you get?
Mine is an international ticket that I purchased on NS Intl app. The full fare was 17.5 Euro and they only refunded me 4.38 Euro. On the website, it says they will refund 100% of the ticket. I am confused.

In that case, please reply to the e-mail that you're expecting a 50% refund because your delay was more than 2 hours.

Do you have a URL where it states that you'll get a 100% refund for an international delay?
