Key legal question
Whether the appellant was entitled to unemployment benefits from 2009-01-13 despite his disability-related work limitations.
Extracted holding
No. After the invalidity authority had ruled, the appellant did not satisfy the subjective placement requirement because his job search remained persistently unsuitable and showed insufficient willingness to seek adaptable work.
Extracted reasoning
Even if objective work capacity could have been assumed under the relaxed rules for disabled claimants, the court found the subjective element lacking: for months he limited applications to nearby and unsuitable jobs, ignored the effect of his physical limits, kept applying for positions he could not perform, and did not react adequately to warnings.
