Why can I not get easy access to my UIF benefits

I've been battling since December 2023 to get access to my UIF funds it's been 7.months and after 3 attempts of completing my application it's declined yet again and some please.flippen explain why the hell it's so difficult to get money, your own money which government takes without fail from your salary every month. Your on maternity and they still deducting uif but you cannot get access to what.your contributing to on a monthly basis. They make it easy for the poor to get access but those that actually contribute has issues. Back in 2016 I was on mat leave I also.didnt get all the money owed to me. This is extremely sad that u need to fight for your own money. Another sad part is that it's government and you cannot trust them, so many ********* stories coming up about how government operates.
