Summary:
The claimant was not disentitled to benefits for the first 7 days she was absent from Canada to visit her gravely ill father. Afterwards, her father died while she was still absent. The Umpire agreed with the BOR's decision and stated that the legislation does not allow combining the reasons set out under section 55 of the Employment Insurance Regulations to permit entitlement for more than seven days.
