6. Address where application was made:Department of Labour (Claremont)
7. Date when I heard of
Claim Officer’s decision:
18/10/2015
8. Claim Officer’s decision:Benefits refused because I was not
in employment for 13 weeks in the
last year, and not unemployed due
to illness for more than 2 weeks.
9. Reasons for appeal:I was employed at the Municipality
from 11/01/98 until 30/04/2015

Application for benefits was made on 31/08/2015. Therefore I was in employment for more than 13 weeks in the year before applying for benefits. I was also already unemployed for more than two weeks due to illness when I applied for benefits. I am therefore entitled to UIF benefits.
