Non-Fatal Cases.
5121. Heworth. Benjamin Barnes, 55, hewer.
Fell off with nystagmus 30th March, 1921. He was paid full compensation up to 9th September, 1922, when the War addition was stopped, and Barnes asked for the same to be restored.
Barnes was examined by Dr. Cunningham on our behalf on 14th September, 1922, who reported :—
"Barnes is suffering from a definite form of Miners' Nystagmus, signs of which are more marked when he is examined in a darkened room.
He is incapacitated from following his previous occupation as a coal hewer; he is, however, fit to perform suitable light work which does not involve much stooping."
Disallowed.
