IVA Reassessment: Procedure and Steps

An **IVA reassessment** is a review by the UWV of your permanent work disability in Westland. This is initiated by signals of recovery, new medical information, or after 2 years of IVA. Stressful? Yes, but knowledge of the rules protects your benefit. This article covers the steps, relevant laws, and tips, including contact with Den Haag District Court (Westland district) and Juridisch Loket Westland.

What is an IVA reassessment?

In an **IVA reassessment**, the UWV checks whether your degree of disability for work (AOP) is still ≥80-100%. Reasons:

  • Recovery: Improvement due to therapy or rehabilitation.
  • Employment possibilities: Possible work with adaptations.
  • New information: Fresh report from doctor or specialist.
  • Review: UWV doubt regarding previous IVA decision.
Initiative: UWV itself, employer, doctor, or agency. Different from initial IVA assessment.

Difference from standard IVA application: focus on adjusting AOP, possibly reduction to WGA or termination.

  • WIA: Art. 14 reassessment.
  • Regulations on reassessment of disability for work: conditions and UWV method.
  • Awb: objection/appeal, also at Den Haag District Court for Westland residents.
