availability for work  courses  weight of statements 

Summary:

The presumption raised may be rebutted. Mere statement that one would leave the course almost invariably not sufficient. To wait for a job does not suffice. One must show that obtaining work is the prime concern and that the course is secondary. Very convincing evidence required.

Benefits not intended to subsidize self-improvement, education or the acquisition of new skills of claimants who have effectively taken themselves out of the work force to attend full-time courses.
