UWV’s Wajong Benefits Under Scrutiny as Thousands of Youths Face Potential Injustices
Recent investigations reveal that the Dutch benefits agency UWV has made significant errors in processing Wajong benefits, potentially impacting thousands of vulnerable youths. Following prior issues with the WIA disability payments, it has come to light that many may have been wrongly denied or received incorrect benefits. Internal reports indicate alarming error rates and ongoing problems. UWV’s own assessments acknowledge the need for reform, as complexities in benefits regulations have left many recipients financially insecure.
