“(2) Where the evidence in a proceeding for unemployment compensation, establishes that, although the claimant is not able to work and available for work in his usual trade or occupation, he is able to work and available for lighter work in other occupations for which he is reasonably fitted and is unable to obtain such work, he is eligible to receive benefits.”
