Summary:
The claimant, who was working in Ontario and living in his parents' home with his two children, quit his job to move to Nova Scotia and live there with family members. The move apparently was made for the benefit of the claimant's young son who suffers from severe ADHD and the claimant's parents who had suffered heart attacks were having difficulties dealing with the situation. A physician in Ontario who was treating the claimant's son provided a letter which suggested to increase family support because of psychological concerns with respect to his son X." The Commission was of the opinion that the claimant had just cause for leaving his job.. The claimant's appeal is allowed, allowing benefits.
