Example:
UIF Appeal
1. The appellant: | Tafeni Jongumzi |
2. Appellant’s address: | c/o Claremont Advice Office PO Box 51 Claremont 4051 |
3. Identity number: | 3602125134189 |
4 Name and address of employer: | Claremont Municipality PO Box 1711 Claremont 4051 |
5. Date of application for benefits: | 31/08/2015 |
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.
