� APPEAL# Panel Decision The panel notes that its jurisdiction is limited to a determination of whether the reconsideration decision was reasonable. The reconsideration decision only relates to a finding that the appellant is ineligible for a moving supplement for storage fees and for moving personal items from one city to another over a year after the move because the circumstances do not meet the definition of "moving cost" under section 55 of the EAPWDR. Under section 55 of the EAPWDR, "moving cost" means the cost of moving a family unit and its personal effects from one place to another; The ministry has determined that storage fees do not qualify as moving costs under section 55 of the EAPWDR. The panel finds that it is reasonable to determine that storage fees do not fall within the definition of moving cost. Therefore, the panel finds the ministry's determination that the appellant was not eligible for storage fees due to not meeting the definition of "moving cost" under section 55 of the EAPWDR was a reasonable application of the applicable enactment in the circumstances of the appellant. With respect to the issue of moving the personal effects, the ministry representative stated at the hearing that while they could not find anywhere in the legislation that says there is a time limit on moving of belongings," procedurally there is a time limit in our office". The ministry representative also confirmed that family unit can refer to one person. The ministry representative stated that the appellant did not qualify for a moving supplement because she had already moved and had been living in the present location for over one year. In determining if the appellant met the definition of "moving cost" as defined in the legislation, the panel looked at the two components of the definition. The meaning of "from one place to another" could be interpreted in several ways as the legislation is not clear on what is meant by the term "place". It is unclear if place means moving personal effects from one city to another, from one province to another or from one storage unit to another. The second component of the definition, "moving a family and its personal effects" could be interpreted as moving the family and personal effects at the same time to the same location or because there is no time limit in the legislation, it could be interpreted as moving the family and then moving the personal effects at a later date. While the appellant has given various reasons for her initial move and the delay in requesting the move of her personal effects, the panel has determined that in the circumstances of the appellant, her request for moving costs should be considered as two parts of one move. The panel finds that the wording of "moving cost" is broad enough that it can be determined that the appellant does meet the definition. The panel found that moving personal effects from one storage unit to another met the definition of "one place to another". EAAT003(10/06/01)
I APPFAI # The panel found that because there is no legislated time limit, the appellant's personal effects could be moved some time after the appellant moved. The panel found the moving of the appellant's personal effects one year later to her new city of residence is the second part of one move. Therefore, the panel finds the ministry's determination that the appellant was not eligible for a moving supplement to move her personal effects due to not meeting the definition of "moving cost" under section 55 of the EAPWDR was not a reasonable application of the applicable enactment in the circumstances of the appellant. The appellant appears to argue that the move qualifies under section 55 (2)(d) of the EAPWDR given the reduction in rent; however, (2)(d ) is limited to moves within or to adjacent municipalities or unincorporated areas. It is noted by the panel that the ministry has not made a determination respecting section 55 (2) of the EAPWDR and as such the panel cannot make a determination and refers the matter back to the ministry. In conclusion, the panel finds the ministry reasonably determined that the appellant was not eligible for storage costs as a moving cost and confirms that part of the reconsideration decision. However, the panel finds the ministry's reconsideration decision which held that the appellant was not eligible for a moving supplement to move her personal effects one year after moving due to not meeting the definition of "moving cost" under section 55 of the EAPWDR was not a reasonable application of the legislation in the appellant's circumstances and rescinds that part of the reconsideration decision.
