In Utrecht, the labour expert assessment plays a key role in the Wajong reassessment at the UWV office on CatharijneSingel. After the medical assessment at the UWV in Utrecht, the labour expert evaluates which jobs in the Utrecht region - such as in the care sector or at local companies like NS or the municipality - you can still perform, based on your capacity for work. Important criteria include remaining earning capacity, suitable work on the Utrecht labour market and reintegration opportunities via regional employer service points. If your earning capacity exceeds 65%, your benefit ends. You will receive a questionnaire about education, work experience and skills; complete it honestly and comprehensively, paying attention to Utrecht-specific circumstances such as commuting by bike or train. Legal basis: Wajong article 13 and Assessment Decree on Disability for Work. Practical tips for Utrecht: prepare an overview of limitations with the help of your GP in the city, consult the UWV counter at Gildestraat for free advice, or engage legal assistance via the Juridisch Loket Utrecht. Many reassessments fail due to insufficient emphasis on functional limitations in a dynamic city like Utrecht. In case of objection, request a counter-expertise via the regional UWV. This process decides on your wage-related or follow-up benefit, with extra attention to local reintegration trajectories such as those of Werkzaak Utrecht.
