UC claimant's arguments in his brief were waived where they were not included in his Petition for Review.

In n. 7, the court said in dictum that the claimant would not have prevailed even if the court had considered the issues which he had waived. Claimant was an alien worker whose work authorization had expired. The court said that under such circumstances, he was not available for work under sec. 401(d) of the UC Law, 43 PS 801(d).
