Blaydon Burn. William Smith, 47, miner.
On 26th January, 1922, this man sustained injuries to his hand and wrist through a fall of stone. Full compensation was paid until he ultimately commenced, light work and he continued at such until February, 1925, when the colliery closed down. Dr. McAleenan (the man's own doctor) on 19th December, 1925, reported as follows :—
"Present Condition. — This is in good position, except that he is unable to bring his hand back. This prevents him from doing heavy work.
Grounds of Opinion. — I am of opinion that he is unable to do any heavy work owing to condition of wrist."
Compensation is being paid at the reduced rate of 5/- per week. No suitable light work has been offered and Smith now claims full compensation.
Awarded 5/- per week from 22nd September, 1925.
