CIZ Assessment in Delft: The Hearing and Hearing Obligation

When lodging an objection against a CIZ assessment in Delft, the office generally organizes a hearing, as prescribed in Article 7:2 of the General Administrative Law Act (Awb). You will receive notification of the date, time, and location at least one week in advance, often at the town hall on Burgwal or a meeting room at the regional care office in the Haaglanden region. Bring medical specialists from Reinier de Graaf Hospital in Delft, family members, or a specialized lawyer from the region to clarify your situation. The independent hearing committee, consisting of experts with knowledge of local care practices, will assess your medical file and listen attentively to your personal account. Prepare thoroughly by outlining key arguments in writing, bringing relevant documents from Delft authorities, and anticipating questions about your child’s degree of disability, including references to local mental health (GGZ) or youth care facilities. The hearing is not binding but forms the crucial basis for the decision on the objection. Minutes are carefully recorded, and you will receive a copy by post or digitally. If you are unable to attend due to, for example, traffic congestion around TU Delft or other local circumstances, request a postponement in a timely manner via the care office. Refusal of a hearing is only possible for compelling reasons, as confirmed by Delft jurisprudence. This step is essential for claims involving Intensive Care or double child benefit, as personal explanations, supported by regional expertise, often prove decisive in the Haaglanden region.
