On 2nd July, 1923, this man fell off with Miners' Nystagmus. Full compensation was paid until 28th May, 1925, when it was reduced to 7/6 per week. The case was before the Arbitration Committee on 6th July, 1925, when he was awarded 20/- per week on the basis of partial incapacity, and such was continued until 8th April, 1926, when it was stopped on a report of Dr. Todd (the Owners' doctor). The case was referred to the Official Medical Referee (Dr. Percival) who reported on 30th April, 1926, as follows :—
1. "The said G. H. Neary to-day shows no oscillation of the eyeballs but certain slight tremors that are characteristic of the disease, and his condition is such that he is in my opinion quite able to do work now above ground that does not involve much stooping.
2. The incapacity of the said G. H. Neary is partial and is due to his being subject to Miners' Nystagmus."
On the above report compensation is being paid at the reduced rate of 12/- per week. Neary is still off work and now claims full compensation.
