Wajong Reassessment in Delft: Criteria and Local Support

During a Wajong reassessment in Delft, the UWV assesses whether your entitlement to Wajong benefit still applies. This is based on medical and functional criteria, examining whether your disability amounts to at least 35% and you are unable to work. Reassessments often take place after 3 years, or earlier in case of changes in health. In Delft, you can go to the Juridisch Loket Delft for free advice. This article discusses criteria, rights, obligations and steps, with a focus on local resources.
