What is CIZ Advice and Why Does It Matter in Delft?

The **CIZ advice** is an independent **medical-social opinion** requested by the **UWV** or the **municipality of Delft** to determine whether Intensive Care is needed. Essential for **double child benefit** for children with additional care needs, such as chronic conditions, disabilities or complex situations.

A negative CIZ advice in Delft often leads to rejection of your application. But this is not final: with the right steps, you can reverse it, supported by local legal assistance.
