In Zoetermeer, the labour expert assessment plays a key role in the Wajong reassessment by the UWV office in the South Holland region. After the medical assessment at the UWV in Zoetermeer or nearby The Hague, the labour expert evaluates which jobs in the local labour market, such as at companies in the Zoetermeer Industrial Area or retail in the city centre, you can still perform based on your capacity for work. Important criteria include remaining earning capacity, suitable work within Zoetermeer and reintegration opportunities via regional employers or the Werkplein Zoetermeer. If your earning capacity is estimated above 65%, the benefit ends. You will receive a questionnaire about education, work history and skills, often tailored to the demand in the region around the A12 corridor. Provide honest, detailed answers to prevent mismatches. The legal basis remains Wajong article 13 and the Assessment Decree on incapacity for work, unchanged for Zoetermeer residents. Practical tips: prepare an overview of your limitations with input from local GP practices in Zoetermeer-Noord or -Zuid, seek free advice at the UWV counter in the Stadshart and consult lawyers at the Juridisch Loket Zoetermeer. Many reassessments fail due to underestimation of functional limits in a dynamic market like Zoetermeer. In case of objection, you can submit a counter-expertise via the regional UWV. This process decides on your wage-related or follow-up benefit, with extra attention to reintegration in local sectors such as IT and logistics.
