Durham Miners' Association
Compensation Department
Report of Proceedings
of
Arbitration Committee Meeting
held in the
The Coal Trade Offices, Newcastle-on-Tyne
On Monday, June 12th 1922
4585. Philadelphia. John Morrell, 51, hewer.
Fell off with nystagmus on 27th November, 1920. He was off 14 weeks and then started light work in the pit and continued until the 8th February, 1922, when he was certified fit for his own work as a hewer.
The case was referred to the Official Medical Referee (Dr. Percival) who reported on the 20th March, 1922 :—
"Morrell is to-day suffering from slight nystagmus and is unfit for work as a hewer, and his condition is such that he is quite fit for light work.
The incapacity is partial and is entirely due to slight Coal Miners' Nystagmus."
Morrell was stopped from working light work on the 8th February, owing, it was alleged, to his being certified fit for work as a hewer, and claimed full compensation from that date up to the date he was re-started at light work.
Claim disallowed.
