DISSENTING OPINION BY
JUDGE WOJCIK
I join in the well-reasoned dissenting opinion of Judge Cosgrove. I write separately, however, to stress that the jobs identified by the employer in this case are only a possible suitable accommodation for the claimant’s medical condition and that the claimant is only disqualified from receiving benefits under Section 402(b) of the Unemployment Compensation Law1 “if the employer is able to provide other suitable work .... ” Because the record in this case lacks sufficient evidence demonstrating that the employer is able to provide such suitable work under Section 402(b), unlike the majority, I would affirm the order of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review. Accordingly, I respectfully dissent.
President Judge Leavitt joins in this Dissenting Opinion.
