“[5 ]ection 288.050.1(1) may not be read as if there were a disjunction after the word “voluntarily” so that the section imposed dual elements for a finding of disqualifica tion, i.e., that the termination was both voluntary and without good cause attributable to [the claimant’s] work or to [the claimant’s] employer. The entire clause must be read within its context. Under this interpretation of the section, one terminates employment involuntarily only if there is a legally sufficient reason for leaving which is causally connected to the work or the employer. The law requires the claimant ... to establish that there existed “a causal connection between the work and the aggravation of, or contribution to, the disability.” Bussmann Mfg. Co. v. Industrial Comm’n, 327 S.W.2d 487, 491 (Mo.App.1959).”
