Summary:
Claimant on short-term disability 7-1 to 12-5-86, then applied for long-term. Advised on 11-7-86 that claim not accepted. Returned to work 14-7-86. Matter pursued until turned down 9-4-87. Failure to seek advice not reasonable after 11-7. Easy access tooffice.
Claimant said he knew he could not collect both UI and some other benefit. His knowledge of the law here is much better than legal requirement for prompt filing. A prudent person would surely file for both benefits and see if either materialized, then forego one.
