To re-apply, complete the Change of circumstances form for those receiving an occupational disability benefit (‘Wijzigingen doorgeven WIA,WAO, WAZ, Wajong’). You will need either a DigiD account or a valid European electronic ID (‘Europees erkend inlogmiddel’) to do this.

Keep in mind that you must meet 1 of the following criteria to be able to re-apply for a Wajong benefit:

• Your Wajong benefit ended on or after 2 January 2016 and your health has worsened since then. Plus you have not yet reached retirement age.
• You cancelled your Wajong benefit more than a year ago.
• You have experienced changes in your personal situation, work or income.

You will be able to re-apply for a Wajong benefit if you are moving back to the Netherlands and your previous Wajong benefit ended when you moved abroad. To re-apply, please call UWV Telefoon Werknemers (the UWV employee helpline).

Your previous Wajong benefit might have ended because you were imprisoned for more than 1 month. If you are being released, you will be able to re-apply for a Wajong benefit. To do this, send your ‘Discharge from prison certificate’ and an accompanying letter to the following address:

UWV
Postbus 244
1000 AE AMSTERDAM 

If you need help with your re-application, please call UWV Telefoon Werknemers (the UWV employee helpline). Make sure you have your citizen service number close to hand so we can help you quickly and efficiently.
