Number of WAO, Wajong and WAZ benefits per month, 1998-2010 (November)

The table shows the number of benefits in the context of a number of laws on disability. It is about the law on the disability insurance (WAO), the Incapacity for Work Act— provision for young people with disabilities (Wajong) and the Incapacity for Work Act— self-employed (WAZ) insurance. The number of benefits in the framework from the WIA and the new Work and Labour Support Act for the Young Disabled (Wajong) have not yet been included in the tables. Expected this will be the case around November 2010. From 1 January 2004, workers who fall ill on or after that date may, no longer claiming a WAO benefit. These workers can, after the employer has paid the salary 104 weeks, as of 29 December Apply for a benefit under the Work and Income Act 2005 working capacity (WIA). For those who already have a benefit, Doesn't change anything. From 1 August 2004, self-employed persons who are ill on or after that date no longer claim a benefit under the WAZ.

The number of benefits is splintered according to a number of characteristics of the recipient of the benefit and the benefit: — gender; — age; — degree of incapacity for work; — diagnosis of disability; — business sector; — origin grouping; — duration of the benefit. The breakdown by diagnostic code is for the period 1998-2000 only available for the December months. It turns out that, in the message— stockpiles underlying the figures on the incapacity benefits, as from January 2006 the reason for disapproval (diagnosis code) is not correctly encoded. The breakdown by diagnostic code has therefore been removed from the tables from 2006 and only becomes republished after the corrected files of the reporter have been received. The business sector categories “government education and sciences” and “government other” has been forced to merge for the years 1998-2000 and included in the “government other” category.
