Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellant was exempt from the contributory-period requirement for a new benefit period from 1 January 2009 due to illness under Art. 14(1)(b) AVIG.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No exemption: the medical evidence showed at least 30% work capacity in suitable work for more than twelve months within the relevant period, so he could have taken part-time employment.
Extrahierte Begründung
Exemption requires a causal link between the ground and the failure to meet the contributory period, and the impediment must have lasted more than twelve months. Objective work capacity in adapted work defeats illness-based exemption.
