WIA benefit and sickness benefit: What you need to know

Questioner

ir/Madam End of May I was out of service due to a collective dismissal after 32 years of service. With dismissal arrangement And having worked for 41 years. Reported myself sick to my boss in April. Registered with the UWV in May. Continuously from boss sickness benefit after UWV sickness benefit. My illness COPD and back pain, had acute hernia. If I end up in the WIA. What about the benefit then. Is it 70% of the WW benefit or sickness benefit or is it from your last earned salary after 2 years of sickness benefit.

Lawyer

If I understand correctly, you have gone from continued payment of wages during illness by the employer to the sickness benefit at the UWV and you do not have WW. I am a bit confused about this because you also write about a WW benefit. If I understand your question correctly, the answer is: The WIA benefit amounts to 75% (IVA: fully disabled) of the last earned salary, so not 75% of the UWV benefit. The WIA benefit (WGA: partially disabled) amounts to 70% of the last earned salary (and so also not of the benefit). Please note that this concerns the salary for social security purposes, not the salary you actually earned (travel expenses, costs, etc. do not count). Have I answered your question?
