Prepare your application

  • the problem analysis or analyses of the company doctor;
  • the Action Plan;
  • the First-Year Evaluation and the Final Evaluation.

Apply for an invalidity benefit

• Submit your online application for an invalidity benefit.

Assessment of your application

• You will have an interview with a UWV medical adviser.
• If the medical adviser thinks that you are still (partially) able to work, you will also have an interview with the vocational rehabilitation advisor.

Decision on your application

• You will receive a letter informing you of our decision. This letter tells you whether you are entitled to an invalidity benefit.
• If you are entitled to an invalidity benefit, the letter will also tell you the amount of your benefit and the type of benefit that you will receive:
  • WGA benefit: if you are still able to work (in the future) and can earn a maximum of 65% of your former wages.
  • IVA benefit: if it is very likely that you will be able to work now and in the future.
