were you actually able to work and looking for work from 8/18 through 11/18? Since you were terminated due to absences regarding a medical issue (not being able to work)

Yes, to both questions, and noted in the certification during the period under question. Although, not in the industry I had been working due to my recent physical restrictions. The judge noted this in her ruling, i.e., that the doctor's had recommended I reduce my workload. My employer, however, was unable or unwilling to accommodate with "light" duty assignments. They offered a leave of absence, but without pay which was obviously unacceptable given that I am the primary caregiver for my family. Note that I worked in a warehouse for a leading furniture distributor, the average piece was aprox 150 lbs.
Note: As of 01/2019, I am working on a Masters in Science, and California teaching credential. So I am doing what I can to convey to the EDD that this is expected to be a temporary situation.
I think you handled it wrong.
You should have taken the leave and got on SDI. It pays TWICE what UI pays, and when you got better, you'd have still had a job.
Going to school just raises able and available issues. You should have applied to get on CTB, but you have to have done that by your 16th week of UI.
I think you really cost yourself a lot of money. You should have gotten help.
Login and use "ask EDD" to find out why those weeks aren't being paid. Look at all your denial notices and the decisions. Compare the dates. You can be denied for more than one reason, and if the decision from the hearing was just on the separation, then that doesn't fix an able and available disqualification that you've overlooked.
