Summary:
The jurisprudence holds very clearly that if one is pleading that he quit his job for health reasons then he must produce a letter from his physician specifically indicating that the physician counselled him to quit his job because of health reasons. In this case, the doctor’s letter indicates that he was treating the claimant for prostate problems but it did not direct him that he had to quit his job.

Summary:
Claimant quit his job because he had purchased a house in Barrie, Ont. and found that the distance for commuting from Barrie to Mississauga was too great.
