Opinion by
President Judge Crumlish, Jr.,
Audoralee Wheeler appeals a Pennsylvania Unemployment Compensation Board of Review order denying her benefits. We vacate and remand.
The novel issue presented for our consideration and determination is: Does a domestic transition resulting from the personal preference of a spouse obviate the necessitous and compelling reasons for a following spouse’s voluntary quit?1 Mrs. Wheeler quit work in Wilkes-Barre to accompany her husband to State College where he intended to complete his education.2
