Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work incompatible situations health reasons
Summary:

The claimant is deemed not eligible for benefits after receiving the maximum payable for sickness. The Umpire stated that the first medical report could only be considered an approximate evaluation of the claimant's period of disability. The more recent evaluation was certainly more reliable and more consideration should have been given it for the purposes of determining the claimant's current availability and capacity for work.

Summary:

It is correct that the board should not state medical opinoins. It must be recalled that it is up to the claimant to prove availability. Claimant had undergone very serious operation and it was entirely reasonable to conclude that he could not work immediately.
