so if I understand correctly...
- your hours were cut
- you applied for, and were approved for, EI benefits based on those hours being cut
- your application was then rejected because of your manager telling them something that is directly contradictory to the schedules
- said manager got fired (presumably for incompetence?)
... and you're thinking about NOT appealing? It seems pretty cut and dry. No, you won't get your money today or tomorrow, but no sense not getting it at all. By the sounds of it, as long as you can prove what you're saying (by which I mean, get copies of those old schedules, letters from the managers who supported your position, etc) you're going to win eventually. That's the key to all this, get copies of all the relevant documents or you have nothing to appeal with. Make sure and also keep any correspondence between yourself and EI and your old employer.
My concern would be, wouldn't your EI benefits be decreased or canceled due to you getting a new job? How long were you in between jobs? Or were you always working, just at reduced hours?
If you were working the whole time they might view that favourably. Like, look Mr. Government sir, I have been doing my best to support my family by working as much as I can but they cut my hours, and so according to your EI rules, you ought to pay me, pretty please. If that doesn't work, egg the legislature.
