In Tilburg, the labour expert assessment is an essential part of the Wajong reassessment at the UWV office on Dr. Deelenstraat. After the medical assessment by the UWV team in the Midden-Brabant region, the labour expert evaluates which jobs on the Tilburg labour market you can still perform, taking into account your medical limitations and local vacancies in sectors such as logistics and care. Key criteria include your remaining earning capacity, suitable work within commuting time from Tilburg, and reintegration opportunities via regional employers such as textile companies or the municipality. If your earning capacity is more than 65%, the benefit ends. You will receive a questionnaire about education, work history, and skills; be complete and specific in this, with examples from the Tilburg context. The legal basis remains Wajong article 13 and the Assessment Decree on Disability for Work. Practical tips for Tilburg residents: prepare a list of your limitations with input from local GP practices, seek free advice from the UWV Customer Team Tilburg or the Juridisch Loket on Heuvelstraat, and consider help from lawyers specialised in social security in the city. Many reassessments fail due to insufficient emphasis on functional limitations in a dynamic market like Tilburg. In case of objection, you can submit a counter-expertise via the regional UWV. This process determines whether you retain wage-related or follow-up benefits, with attention to Brabant reintegration programmes.
