Medical-legal prognosis assessment for permanent work disability (IVA criteria) - Rijswijk

Do you live in Rijswijk and are you fully unfit for work? A **medical-legal prognosis assessment** determines whether you are entitled to a IVA benefit (Invalidity Benefit for Fully Disabled Persons). This assessment checks whether your disability is permanent, i.e., lasting. The UWV and the Labour Expert (AD) assess this. In case of objection or appeal, the District Court of The Hague (district Rijswijk) handles your case. Juridisch Loket Rijswijk offers free initial assistance. This article explains everything.

What does a medical-legal prognosis assessment entail for Rijswijk residents?

This assessment analyses your medical condition and the expected permanent duration of your work disability. For Rijswijk, it applies: do you meet the IVA criteria? Then you receive a lifelong benefit. Otherwise, a WIA benefit follows.

The process includes:

  1. Medical check: UWV doctor or specialist reviews your complaints and records.
  2. Legal check: AD tests against statutory IVA standards for permanence.

Why crucial in the Rijswijk region?

Wrong prognosis? Then no IVA, but temporary WIA. In Rijswijk, Juridisch Loket Rijswijk helps with preparation. In case of rejection: appeal at District Court of The Hague.

IVA criteria under WIA legislation

Regulated in the WIA. For Rijswijk clients, you must meet these requirements:

  • Permanent: Disability at least 1 year, often more strictly tested by UWV.
  • No WIA alternative: Temporary prognosis leads to WIA instead of IVA.

Role of the prognosis in Rijswijk cases

UWV and AD assess:

  • Stability of complaints: Chronic conditions such as cancer, MS or severe PTSD.
  • Chance of recovery: Little chance of improvement through therapy or surgery.
