IVA Reassessment Criteria in Zoetermeer: Steps and Rules

In Zoetermeer, the UWV checks during an IVA reassessment whether your work disability still meets the IVA criteria. This occurs periodically, upon application or changes. Local support is available at the Juridisch Loket Zoetermeer in the district of the Rechtbank Den Haag.

When Does an IVA Reassessment Start in Zoetermeer?

The UWV conducts an IVA reassessment if you have been receiving IVA for 2 years, upon a new application, change in health or suspicion of incorrect information. Objective: to determine whether you are permanently at least 80% work disabled without prospect of recovery or adaptation. Residents of Zoetermeer can contact the Juridisch Loket Zoetermeer with questions.

Legal Basis for IVA Reassessment

IVA reassessments fall under:

  • WIA (Work and Income according to Labour Capacity Act), Book 7 IVA.
  • Art. 7:1(1) WIA: Full work disability due to illness/disability, irreversible.
  • Art. 7:4 WIA: Assessment of labour capacity and recovery prospects.
  • Art. 7:10 WIA: Reassessment after 2 years of IVA benefit.
  • Awbz and Zvw for medical aspects.
Rechtbank Den Haag handles objections from Zoetermeer.

Moments of Reassessment

1. Automatically after 2 years IVA

Laid down in art. 7:10 WIA. UWV checks whether you are still ≥80% work disabled, without recovery or adaptation prospects within 2 years. Improvement may lead to termination of IVA and transition to wage-related WIA or IOW.

2. Upon Health Change

Report deterioration or improvement immediately to UWV, e.g. new diagnosis, surgery or additional complaints. This triggers reassessment. Tip: Always report to prevent recovery of benefits. In Zoetermeer, the Juridisch Loket assists with reports.

3. Upon UWV Doubt or Fraud

UWV may reassess at any time in case of irregularities. Prove everything with medical records.
