Report of Proceedings
of
Arbitration Committee Meeting
held in the
The Coal Trade Offices, Newcastle-on-Tyne
On March 22nd 1926
Tudhoe. Henry Pennington, 36, hewer.
On 8th April, 1920, this man fell off with Miners' Nystagmus. Full compensation was paid until 20th October, 1925, when it was reduced to 15/- per week on a report of Dr. Wardale (the Owners' doctor). The case was referred to the Official Medical Referee (Dr. Percival) who reported on 26th February, 1926, as follows :—
1. "The said H. Pennington is at present in a wretched state of health, he certainly has to-day Miners' Nystagmus, and as I am informed by both the Weardale Co's. and the workman's representative that he was a regular workman before the onset of Miners' Nystagmus, I give it as my opinion that his neurasthenic condition is largely due to Miners' Nystagmus. His condition is such that be is unable to do at present any but the lightest work.
2. The incapacity of the said H. Pennington is, in my opinion, due to the after effects of Miners' Nystagmus."
On the above report compensation is being continued at the reduced rate of 15/- per week. Pennington is still off work and now claims full compensation.
Awarded 20/- per week on the basis of partial incapacity.
