Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
week of unemployment  availability for work 

Summary:

Availability and unemployment not to be confused. 2 quite separate concepts. Not sufficient to prove that one is unemployed; otherwise would simply stay unemployed. Must also prove that one is available, by proving one is actively searching for employment. Availability may reflect intention in relation to self-employment. If no or little effort made to find work, may be concluded that primary idea is to devote one's self to the business and not to search for another employment. [p. 6]
