My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Washington State
I open a claim and was denided ( unknown reason at the time)
Reopend same claim 8 months later was approved (reason before i was denied was because i didnt have a working car but that was fixed on both parts of the claim after explaining what really happened).
Im currently getting bennies now off the same claim.
I requested back pay for the org. file claim. They sent me paper work asking for the dates and

This is the form they sent me, my boss told me not to file for unemployment because no one gets approved and i will not! He would make sure of it and they will not pay for it. So i didnt file for my weekly claims.!!
What should i do here? Will i get approved or am i wasting my time? Or how should i word it to help my chances out?
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP
