To submit a request, complete the Request a WIA benefit reassessment form ('Aanvragen herbeoordeling WIA door (ex-) werkgever, verzekeraar of andere gemachtigde organisatie’). You will need to log in to the employer portal with your EH3 level eHerkenning account to do this.

It is important that you justify your request for a reassessment by providing the following information:

• explain why you are submitting a request for a reassessment
• specify when your employee first started experiencing changes in their health
• explain how your employee’s health has changed (please do this without providing any medical information)
• specify if, at the last assessment, the UWV physician (‘verzekeringsarts’) thought your employee’s health would improve
• specify whether the occupational health physician (‘bedrijfsarts’) thought your employee’s chances of returning to work had increased or decreased
• specify what the impact is of your employee’s changing health: will they be able to work more or less?

Please also have the following details close to hand:

• your employee or former employee’s name and citizen service number (‘BSN’)
• your payroll tax number (‘loonheffingennummer’)

Please note: Only an occupational health physician or occupational health and safety service may send us medical information. This must be done no later than 1 day after you request a WIA benefit reassessment. The envelope should be marked as ‘private and confidential’ by writing ‘Medisch geheim WIA benefit reassessment’ on it.

We will determine whether your employee needs a reassessment, based on the information we receive about their current situation and changing health. You will receive a decision about your request within 8 weeks of us receiving your form.
