UWV Faces Scrutiny Over Faulty Disability Benefits Calculations

The Dutch social security agency UWV is set to reveal findings regarding significant errors in WIA disability benefit calculations that may have affected tens of thousands. Issues arose after a report in September uncovered systemic mistakes in determining benefit amounts, leading to questions about repayments and accountability. Minister of Social Affairs, Eddy van Hijum, acknowledged the government’s responsibility, complicating the repayment process. As UWV grapples with ongoing systemic issues and staffing shortages, experts call for substantial reforms to the benefits system, though immediate changes are not anticipated.
