In Delft, the labour expert assessment plays a key role in the Wajong reassessment by the UWV office in the Den Haag region, which also serves Delft. After the medical assessment by a doctor in Delft or the surrounding area, such as Reinier de Graaf Hospital, the labour expert evaluates which jobs in the Delft labour market – think technical roles at TU Delft or jobs in the port of Rotterdam – are feasible given your functional capacity. Important criteria include residual earning capacity, suitable work within the region and reintegration opportunities via local agencies such as Werkse Delft. If earning capacity exceeds 65%, the benefit ends. You will receive a questionnaire about education, work experience and skills; complete it honestly and comprehensively, paying attention to the Delft context such as proximity to innovation hubs. The legal basis remains Wajong article 13 and the Assessment Decree on Disability. Practical tips for Delft residents: prepare an overview of limitations with input from your GP in the city, consult reintegration coaches at Werkse and consider legal assistance via the Juridisch Loket Delft. Many reassessments fail due to insufficient emphasis on functional limitations in a dynamic market like Delft. In case of objection, request a counter-expertise via the UWV. This process decides on wage-related or follow-up benefit, with local support for job seekers.
