In Rijswijk, a vibrant municipality near The Hague, the labour expert assessment plays a key role in Wajong reassessments by the UWV office in the Haaglanden region. After the medical assessment at the UWV in Rijswijk or Zoetermeer, the labour expert evaluates which jobs in the local labour market, such as at companies in the Delftse Poort or smaller employers in the municipality, are feasible given your limitations. Important criteria include your residual earning capacity, suitable work within travel time from Rijswijk and reintegration opportunities via regional partnerships such as Werkse Haaglanden. If your earning capacity exceeds 65%, the benefit ends. You will receive a questionnaire about education, work experience and skills; be transparent and specific in this, with examples from the Rijswijk context. The legal basis remains Wajong article 13 and the Assessment Decree on incapacity for work. Practical tips for Rijswijk residents: prepare an overview of limitations with input from local GP practices, utilise free advice from the Juridisch Loket in Rijswijk and consider support from the Wmo counter for reintegration. Many reassessments fail due to insufficient emphasis on functional limitations in the polder context. In case of objection, you can submit a counter-expertise via the UWV counter in Fahrenheitstraat. This process decides on the retention of wage-related or follow-up benefit, with extra attention to the proximity of the Hague work landscape.
