Having a medical examination in your country of residence or in the Netherlands

We need to assess your health to determine whether you will qualify for a sickness (‘Ziektewet-uitkering’) or WIA benefit. Or, if you are already receiving one of these benefits, we need to determine whether you are still entitled to it. This is why you have received a letter inviting you for a medical assessment. You can choose to have this examination in your country of residence or in the Netherlands.
