Appeal deadline questions after an unemployment denial after 8 years as an accountant

I was told my separation was for misconduct, which is not what happened. I do not usually post, so bear with me. The letter lists a deadline and a hearing process, but it is hard to follow. Did you bring documents or only talk?

Legal aid offices and some workforce centres help with unemployment hearings at no cost. A call is worth it.

I printed my emails in order and wrote a one-page timeline. The hearing officer kept going back to it.
