Summary:
Claimant went to Connecticut to visit her ailing grandmother. The BOR found that the definition "immediate family" which does not include grandmother should include the grandmother in this case because of the culture existing in that family which has the grandmother as a close relative and allowed the appeal. Held by Umpire that the BOR erred in law. S. 54 of the EIR does not define the grandmother as "immediate family" and therefore the claimant was not covered by the exemption.
