I would like to know if I have a legimate umemployment case. I have filed an appeal and my hearing is scheduled for October 25, 2012. I am 56 years old and I have developed COPD, Chronic Broncatis, and infazema. I have worked for this company for 1 year and a half. The Doctor did release me to go back to work doing what I did at the company before. I called and set up an appointment to talk to the General Manager about me coming back to work and I could perform the duties of the job that I did before. He informed me that I would have to go to another Department and that I could be replaced in this Department easier than the one I was in at the time of my illness. He really did not want to talk to me at all. He said that it was not personal and that I could have no limitations in the performance of my duties. This new position is a lot more strenous work that I just cannot do so I applied for unemployment. They are saying that I was on a Leave of Absense but this is incorrect. They also said that the company had tried to contact me but the only call that I got was the Department Cordinator of my Department and this person did not really have anything to do with it. Do I have a case and should I have my wife be as a witness in the case? She also works for this same company in another city.
