Summary:
The Commission denied the claim on the grounds that during the period for which the claimant would otherwise be eligible for pregnancy benefits, she was in receipt of severance pay (s.p.) that was allocated to that same period. BOR agreed that the allocation of s.p. to the period in which she would be entitled to pregnancy benefits could be suspended, thereby entitling her to pregancy benefits. Held by umpire that BOR erred in law and that the Commission's position, based on SS.18(5) of UIA and SS.58(5) of UIR, was correct.
