Transition from Wajong to WIA Benefit in Rijswijk

Residents of Rijswijk who recover or after 2 years of Sickness Benefits can switch from Wajong to WIA (Work and Income according to Labour Capacity Act). The UWV office in Den Haag, responsible for Rijswijk, assesses after 91 weeks of illness whether you qualify for WGA (wage-related, for 35-80% occupational disability) or IVA (fully and sustainably occupationally disabled, over 80%). Local context in Rijswijk: with good accessibility via tram 17 or the A4, UWV schedules appointments efficiently. Prepare yourself with current medical reports from GPs in Rijswijk-Zuid or -Buiten and labour expertise via reintegration agencies in the Haaglanden region. Important difference with Wajong: WIA is more flexible, temporary and strongly encourages return to work, fitting local jobs in offices along the Laan van 's-Gravenhage. Legal basis remains WIA articles 7 and 8. Many Rijswijk residents report stress due to uncertainty; request information in time from UWV Den Haag (088-8989294) or via Rijswijk work plaza initiatives. Practical steps for Rijswijk: submit the Sickness Benefits application via Mijn UWV, undergo the assessment in Zoetermeer or Den Haag, and consider objection or hearing in case of rejection. This way you prevent financial gaps and utilize higher benefits in case of partial recovery, possibly supplemented with Rijswijk participation programmes.
