Hi,

I have been working full time for the last 3 years and have been paying all work related taxes. I voluntarily quit my job and was paid up until the third week of March. Since then I have been actively looking for a new job but there are no suitable jobs or jobs that I'm interested in applying for.

Thanks

FS
