Dear Portfolio Committee on Employment and Labour,

I have submitted my UI19 form last and when I called to check on the application progress. I was told that I must now apply online by registering on Ufiling, which I did. However I have been told that now I was then told to wait for the email that will take 7 to 10 day that will allow me to do the veting I waited for 14 days nothing came through. Until someone sent it while I was on the phone.

The vetting failed cause the questions they sent I could not answer them I'm not sure where they do they gather their information. The system locked me from registering I was told to wait for another 7 to 10 days just to do another vetting. This is very frustrating I have not worked for over 5 months I do not qualify for the grant because I have registered for UIF. I stopped take my HIV meds as I can't take them on an empty stomach.

I fail to understand why on earth would uif have such a system or the aim isto make us suffer. We lost our jobs we have suffered enough. You are failing us
