Summary:
The BOR cancelled the penalty, as it was of the opinion that the claimant, because of his severe problems with alcoholism and drug addiction, was not aware he had made false statements. According to the Umpire, the BOR erred in law. The events took place after the claimant had received drug and alcohol treatment, and the claimant was fully aware of what he was doing. He even stated that he had done it because he needed the money to live.
