claim procedure  notice of interview 

Summary:

Claimant did not report to a Group Information Session (GIS) and was disqualified for 6 weeks for not attending the interview. Referring to the wording of par. 27(1)(d) of the EIA, umpire ruled that a GIS could not be seen neither as an interview in the normal sense of the word nor that the direction under par. 27(1)(c) of the EIA was reasonable having regard to the claimant's circumstances and to the usual means of obtaining suitable employment. Decision appealed by the Commission to the FCA.
