Arbitration Committee Meeting
held in the
The Coal Trade Offices, Newcastle-on-Tyne
On Monday, April 3rd 1922
4456. Kimblesworth. Thomas Urwin, 51, stoneman.
Lost part of a finger through injuries received by a fall of stone on 17th February, 1921. He was paid full compensation until 1st May, 1921, when the colliery doctor certified Urwin as able to do light work. The following week the same doctor reported that Urwin was not able to work and Urwin was attending Durham Hospital and continued to do so after the 5th July, the date he recommenced work.
At the February meeting of the Committee Urwin was awarded full compensation from 1st May to 3rd July. Urwin started work on 4th July, as a shifter on the waggonway, and on 20th January, 1922, was sent to take up some crop coal but he could not do so on account of the state of his finger and he went home. His finger got worse and it was amputated on 10th February, 1922, and Urwin was rendered totally disabled and is at the present time, and claimed full rate from 10th February.
Claim allowed.
