Summary:
The claimant filed an initial claim for benefits effective March 25, 2007 but did not receive any EI benefits because, from March 2 to April 29, 2007, he received benefits through the QPIP. The claimant stopped working on June 4, 2007 due to illness and received sickness benefits from June 3 to 9, 2007 and then received disability insurance until April 2008. The claimant returned to work until he was laid off. The claimant requested that the Commission cancel his claim for benefits of March 25, 2007 so that he could increase his insurable hours, given that having received benefits from June 3 to 9, 2007 put him at a disadvantage. The Act provides that, once a benefit period has been established for a claimant, the Commission may only cancel the benefit period if it has ended and no benefits were paid during the period. The claimant’s appeal is dismissed by the Umpire.
