Submitting a request for a communication support worker

To submit a request, complete the Disability support application form ('Aanvragen voorziening'). You will need either a DigiD account or a valid European electronic ID (‘Europees erkend inlogmiddel’) to do this. Make sure you tell us what you need a communication support worker for. You will need to make a new request for each specific situation.

If the request is for you, please submit the following:

• your citizen service number ('BSN')
• your medical report ('medisch rapport')

If the request is for your child, make sure you also submit the following:

• the authorisation to act on the child’s behalf ('machtiging')
• the child’s citizen service number
• the child’s medical report

You will receive a decision within 8 weeks of us having received your form. If we need more information from you, we will let you know.
