On Monday, April 3rd 1922
4416. Leasingthorne. S. Berry, 46, hewer.
Fell off with miners' nystagmus on 5th January, 1917. He was paid full compensation until December. 1921, when the war addition was stopped. He started light work but had to give up, and the case was referred to the Official Medical Referee (Dr. Percival) who reported on 27th February, 1922 :—
1. "Berry is suffering from slight coal miners' nystagmus, and his condition is such that he is quite fit for work at bank that does not involve very much stooping.
2. The incapacity of S. Berry is partial and is entirely due to coal miners' nystagmus."
The manager cannot supply Berry with suitable light work and compensation is paid at the full rate but without war addition and Berry claims the latter.
The Committee failed to agree and the case will be taken to Court.
