1. “In the present case the facts, as contained in the record, will not sustain a finding that the termination of employment by Mrs. Cooper was either involuntary or was with good cause connected with her work. The fact that the air conditioning in her office aggravated the preexisting bronchial condition is not a cause which can be laid to her employment. The statute provides that the employee is entitled to unemployment compensation if he cannot obtain employment from his employer upon prompt reapplication, once the cause of termination is arrested. This prompt reapplication prerequisite has been held to be mandatory. Guffey v. Scott (1966) 217 Tenn. 707 , 400 S.W.2d 705 . In the present case, Mrs. Cooper claims that her disablement is still existing. If this is true, she is not entitled to unemployment compensation at the present time. When she is able to comply with the provisions of the medical exception to sec. 50-1324, subd. A—or when she can otherwise remove the disqualification by obtaining other employment for the period required by sec. 50-1324, subd. her situation would then be mature for reapplication for unemployment compensation in a proper ease.”
