Employees with long-term disability (WIA)
After two years of sick leave, the employer remains financially responsible for (former) employees who receive a long-term disability benefit, often for up to 10 more years. This responsibility can come with significant costs and obligations.
With our long-term disability support services, we provide timely and effective guidance through every step of the process. From casemanagement and comprehensive long-term disability (WGA) guidance to legal support in the case of objections, appeals, or reassessments.
Long-term disability (WIA) support services
Together with Meijers Vitaal, we support employers in preventing long-term disability inflow and promoting outflow. We help organisations prevent long-term disability and assist in maintaining control over the financial risk of long-term disability.
We offer WIA services for both employers who have opted for self-insurance for the Return to Work (partially disabled) regulations and for employers who are insured through the public system: UWV.
Our long-term disability (WIA) support services:
-
Reducing absenteeism and preventing WIA inflow where possible
-
Providing personal advice on the progress and status of long-standing cases
-
Reviewing WIA decisions to identify possibilities for objection, appeal, or reassessment
-
Supporting compliance with obligations related to self-insurance
-
Investigating whether the insurer can co-finance interventions
-
Advising on the use of reintegration providers
-
Advising on the recourse of damage (regres) from liable third parties
You can also engage us to help strengthen your employees’ work capacity through long-term disability (WIA) case management.
Case management goes far beyond simply meeting legal reintegration requirements. We map out the financial risks for both employer and employee and coordinate the right interventions.
