I mean, I'm not sure what the specific unemployment laws are over there however that is a pretty standard provision.
You usually have to get someone to certify it though. Regular doctors tend to be conservative and therefore are less apt to make a determination of this kind. However, mental health professionals usually tend to like to help. Plus you could get disability.

I'm not advocating that but it has been know to work...
you are right. i worked in grp 48 and i was suffering from high blood pressure and severe headaches. that caused me to get IV's and oxygen. My doctor told me that i couldnt keep going on like this so he told me if i quit he would write a letter stating my health was deterirating due to work conditions. he did plus i got a grant and an unemployment ext of 13 weeks past the regular time allowed. at the end of 13 weeks i was to go to the doctor for an exam to see if i was eligible to work again or if i was to remain on "assistance". I dropped 20 lbs. Felt great and got of blood pressure meds. I was only 26. The grant was great. It covered rent, and living cost. I snagged a job before it ever came to the second exam. however that doctor pretty much saved me.
