Philadelphia. Reuben Ingleby, 55, hewer.
On 11th January, 1911, this man sustained an injury to his left eye. Full compensation was paid for nearly 5 years when he commenced light work at which he continued intermittently until the beginning of the National Stoppage on 1st May, 1926.
The case was referred to the Official Medical Referee (Dr. Percival) who reported on 20th September, 1926, as follows :—
1. "The said R. Ingleby has a hazy scar over his left pupil due to the injury, and his condition is such that he is thereby seriously disabled from seeing clearly with his left eye, but not from seeing with his right eye.
2. The incapacity of the said R. Ingleby as far as the injury is concerned is partial and due to the injury."
Ingleby is still off work and now claims full compensation.
Awarded 8/- per week permanent rate.
