Pelton Fell. William Steadman, stoneman.
On 4th June, 1925, this man strained his knee through lifting stone. Full compensation was paid until January, 1926, when it was reduced to 7/6 per week on a report of the Owners' doctor (Dr. Oliver).
The case was referred to the Official Medical Referee (Dr. Gordon Bell) who reported on 12th March, 1926, as follows :—
1. "The said William Stead man is suffering from strain of the structures outside and behind the right knee joint, and his condition is such that he is unfit for the work of a stoneman but is fit for light work.
2. The incapacity of the said William Steadman is due to the accident of 4th June, 1925."
On the above report compensation is being continued at the reduced rate of 7/6 per week. No suitable light work has been offered and Steadman now claims full compensation.
Awarded 14/- per week.
