Doesn't see my daughter as a dependent
<p>I am busy rejoining Affinity Health of which my daughter was a member as a dependent just over a year ago. She is 19 now and studying through Unisa as I don't want her to study full time because of all the University Violence. Now Affinity doesn't recognize her as a student or as my dependent</p> <p> </p> <p>This doesn't sound right. My ID is ********** 202089</p>
Good day Mr. Van Der Walt
