I cannot remain silent in the face of such unutterable bull.... as this person posted on the Free Advice site.
And I quote:
Miraculously, when it arrived she had agreed with me and stated (I am paraphrasing but can provide ANYONE WHO ASKS with the actual document showing her judgement and why if it will help anyone else, just email that due to my injuries, the length of the drive and the hours I worked each day (typically 10-16 hours each day) that their was the real and deadly serious possibility of my falling asleep at the wheel and killing myself or someone else or both and therefore the state COULD NOT & WOULD NOT require me to continue to tread such unsafe water every day to keep that job as with my commute of 4 hours each day I was looking at between 16-20 hours of a hugely stressful and ultimately deadly daily routine.
I was awarded all my back checks (over 6 months worth I believe) and then was switched to state disability for the remainder of the year due to my medical issues.

I call bull. Post your unemployment decision on this site for me, with the law cited under which you were approved. That will be on your decision letter. Because there is nothing in unemployment law that is even remotely concerned with the state worrying about you driving an unusual and dangerous commute...blah blah blah...... Unemployment insurance is paid by taxes to the employer, when the person is out of work through no fault of their own. They don't give a hoot in hell whether or not your uncle left you a house in his will, the roads are dangerous, your wife is sick, or you're in too bad health to make it to work anymore. It is charged to the employer's account, therefore no ajudicator is going to give you the sympathy vote and charge the employer without a good work related reason to quit your job.
You suddenly start mentioning the injury, something about disability....if you were unable to work for health reasons, that might have been a different issue all together, and you might very well have been approved on appeal. But it wasn't because you told them such a pitiful story about your personal situation and they decided to give you the sympathy vote. Even if they had, the Board of Review would have immediately thrown out the whole approval and declared you overpaid as soon as they got a look at it.
I have done many unemployment issue hearings, and no I am not a circuit court judge or whoever you think you talked to on your own special little planet. And I have seen many idiots walk out of appeals thinking they had won their case for the wrong reason. In other words, they'd say, "I told that lady about my sick baby at home and she decided to go on and give it to me" or they say, "I threatened to call my uncle, who's close with the governor and it scared them!" when actually the only reason they won was that the law was on their side.
The story you told us was an almost 100% "going to get denied" story. The professionals on this site gave you an answer regarding your unemployment benefits that was totally accurate based on this information. When you started bringing in other issues such as the injury and state disability and all that, you may have muddled the accuracy of the answers by failing to give the correct information in your question. But frankly, I hate they approved you anyhow IF they did, as you claim. You sound like a real jerk. I wish I had a dollar for every jerk whose claim I had to approve because they were on the favorable side of the unemployment laws. But I bet you certainly didn't get approved because you were so persuasive in your hearing and they felt so sorry for you.
