Department of labour Pretoria Stalling UIF payments so you give up so they can de***** you by *****ing your benefit

I am a retired professor. I retired in Septembet 2022, till to date I haven't received any payment. I put my initial UIF claim in October 2022, I was sent from pillar to post for documents, i had to wait 8 weeks for payment ,twice, only for the money not to arrive. I have visited the department in Pretoria, Nana Sita street,a couple of times, to date I still don't have the money. Last week I checked the status and it said rejected and call centre couldn't help me. I am 70 and cannot be running around. I believe department of labour want me to give up so ***** will be committed with my pay, by giving it to someone else
