ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION At the administrative hearing, the Department’s evidence was entered into the hearing record without objection. The Department’s Representative objected to the Appellant’s Exhibit A-1 being entered into the hearing record as evidence because the Department asked the Appellant if she had additional medical documentation that had not previously been provided and the Appellant indicated that she did not.

Dep't of Pub. Welfare, 807 A.2d 310, (Pa. Cmwlth. 2002) In this case, the Appellant provided verification from her eye doctor that showed additional medical conditions, not previously known to the Department.

Although the Department did not have this information at the time of the denial, the Appellant was able to provide information that could change the Department’s decision of ineligibility. Therefore, for all the foregoing reasons, the ALJ concludes that the Appellant was able to provide verification to substantiate her claim that she had other medical conditions that could qualify her for EMA, therefore; the Appellant’s appeal is SUSTAINED. Subsequently, an appropriate Order will

Further, he argued that the third statement was admissible to rebut the Crown’s allegation of recent fabrication. The court accepted the first submission and ordered a new trial. The court ruled that edited portions of those statements bearing upon the appellant’s state of mind were properly admissible as an exception to the rule against the admissibility of prior consistent statements. This court rejected the second argument on the ground that the Crown had not alleged recent fabrication. The appellant submits that the trial judge failed to put the defense position on automatism fairly before the jury telling to be sceptical of the defense, also mischaracterizing the evidence of Dr.kolito and failing to instruct the jury that the absence of motive had a bearing on the defense of
