Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work  restrictions  reasonable period of time 

Summary:

The Commission argues that case law suggests 3 months and is adequate. I agree that, depending on circumstances, it may be adequate. What had been established in CUB 3832 and in DODSWORTH is a mere guideline and not a rule of law. Each situation to be viewed in its own context.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work  courses  pattern study-work not at same time 

Summary:

Pattern of evening work. Lengthy job search. 3 months on claim. Prepared to give up course. No offer made by CEIC. If we are to suspend benefits here because claimant occupies her hours on self improvement, we would be encouraging wanton waste of time.
