So, I’ve been unemployed just over a month now. I’ve been applying for jobs vigorously and even joined a recruitment agency.

Ran out of funds this week and have been waiting over a week for an appointment with WINZ.

I don’t live with my partner, however I was forthcoming about the fact that I have one and that he works full time. I pay $350 rent where I live and wasn’t able to pay my rent this week.

Was told by WINZ that even though my partner and I don’t live in the same quarters, we’re still a couple and do “all the things couples do” so therefore I don’t qualify for the benefit. Only assistance which will not cover the cost of my rent or anything else for that matter.

I’m starting to feel like unaliving myself will be a better option. At least the hapū will be able to cover the cost of my tangi and I won’t have to burden my partner with having to pay my bills while my life is in shambles.
