Not integrating due to illness or disability
Do you have a serious illness or disability? And are you unable to integrate as a result? Then you may not have to take any exams. This is called dispensation.
You can only get dispensation if you are legally required to integrate under the 2013 or the 2021 civic integration act ('Wet inburgering 2013' or 'Wet inburging 2021').

Still need to take exams
Does the doctor say that you can integrate? Perhaps you can ask for extra time to integrate.
Is it difficult for you to take the integration exam or Nt2 exam because of an illness or disability? Then DUO can adjust the exam for you.
