CIZ Advice: Deadlines and Formal Requirements for Objection

Filing an objection against a CIZ (Dutch Care Assessment Centre) advice requires strict compliance with deadlines and formal requirements. According to the General Administrative Law Act (Awb, Art. 6:7), an objection must be submitted within six weeks of the date of the advice. Use the official CIZ objection form or write a letter including your name, address, date of birth, the advice reference number, and a clear explanation of why you disagree. Attach medical reports or witness statements as evidence. The CIZ must acknowledge receipt of your objection and decide within 6 to 12 weeks, unless an extension is granted. During the objection procedure, the advice is often suspended, ensuring that ongoing care benefits remain in place. If you miss the deadline, reinstatement may be possible under Awb Art. 6:11, provided you demonstrate that the oversight was not intentional. Consult a legal aid service for assistance in drafting your objection. Proper preparation increases the likelihood of success.
