IVA Reassessment in Leiden: Procedure and Steps

An **IVA reassessment** in the Leiden region is a review by the UWV of changes in your health or work capacity. This can be nerve-wracking, but with knowledge of the rules, you protect your benefit. We explain the steps, relevant laws, and local institutions such as the Rechtbank Den Haag, Locatie Leiden and the Juridisch Loket Leiden (Stationsweg 46).

What does an IVA reassessment in Leiden entail?

The UWV initiates a reassessment upon signals of improvement, such as medical recovery, better work possibilities, or new diagnoses.
