Hi. My application declined and it’s it says UIF registered but I’m not working.
Hi im declined becauSe of source of income and im not working i casualed for a month 3years ago im not working i dnt know whre the income comes from really i dont know
I don’t understand why should I be given the same reason that blocked my application last time which after was approved and got paid, this uif registered reason is really unreasonable when you’re not receiving any income from any source of government. I am not working at all!!!
