Labour Expert Assessment in Wajong Reassessment

The labour expert assessment is a crucial part of the Wajong reassessment. After the medical assessment, the UWV labour expert analyses which work activities you can still perform, taking into account your capacity for work. Criteria include, among others, residual earning capacity, suitable work and reintegration possibilities. If your earning capacity exceeds 65%, the benefit ceases. You will receive a questionnaire about your education, work experience and skills. Be honest and detailed in your answers. Legal basis: Wajong article 13 and the Assessment Decree on Disability for Work. Practical steps: prepare an overview of limitations, seek advice from your doctor and consider legal assistance. Reassessments often fail due to underestimation of functional limitations. In case of dispute, you can request a counter-expertise. This process determines whether you retain a wage-related or follow-up benefit.
