Outcome
The Illinois Appellate Court reversed the circuit court's decision and the Board of Review's denial of unemployment insurance benefits, holding that the Board improperly required the plaintiff to show that a physician specifically advised her to leave her job, when the statute only requires that a physician advise that assistance is necessary for caring for an ailing parent.
