Decision 19055 Full Text of Decision 19055

A decision to be made with reference to a claimant's history of employment while attending a course of instruction must necessarily refer to past experience, and not to what might occur in the future. Future employment may have relevance to a future claim for benefit. The fact that the claimant did later find full-time employment while attending her course, some time after the hearing, does not have any relevance to the decision of the Board of Referees, and does not refute their reasoning.
