WANTED: participants for the UWV client council 📣 WHY THE CLIENT COUNCIL? The benefits working group wondered: "What are some ways we can stand up for the interests of Lyme patients even more and more broadly?"

The client council provides solicited and unsolicited input with UWV and provides advice. By fighting together with others for a better UWV policy, you can occasionally contribute something that will benefit tens of thousands of people in the future.
