Summary:
The claimant requested antedating of her claim alleging that she did not apply for benefits earlier because she was working part time and believed she would not be eligible. The FCA indicated that while deference is owed to the Umpire, his decision was unreasonable because there is no basis in the record to justify the claimant's delay or to demonstrate that she took reasonable steps to discharge her obligations, as required by the jurisprudence of this Court.
