Summary:
The claimant had repeatedly stated that she was not available to accept employment as she wanted to wait until she could return working for her husband in five months. It has been well established in the jurisprudence that more weight must be given to a claimant's initial statement than to one given later in response to a negative decision by the Commission. Even if the claimant had been able to establish that she might have been prevented from working due to a medical condition, she would still have had to establish that she would have been available for work were it not for that medical condition.
