Summary:
Claimant ceased his employment due to illness and filed a claim with 1,016 hours of insurable employment while requiring 1,138 hours because of a previous minor violation. The BOR allowed the claim based on the new entrant provision and completly ignored section 153.1 of the EIA which provides that a claimant upon whom a violation has been imposed will not qualify for special benefits unless he has accumulated an increase number of hours of insurable employment. Held by Umpire that BOR ignored the legislation and the Commission appeal was allowed.
