Summary:
Claimant lost the job she held for some 20 years because she falsified her expense accounts. She argued that at the time she committed the fraud, she was suffering from compulsive gambling. Referring to the FCA decisions in Brissette (A-1342.92), Joseph (A-0636.85) and Turgeon (A-0582.98), Umpire ruled that the simple fact of having a psychological or psychiatric problem was not sufficient in itself to render the disqualification under the Act inapplicable.
