Sacriston. Adam Puller, 36, hewer.
Puller had his spine injured by fall of stone on 20th July 1920, and was paid full compensation until he started light work (sweeping up on wagonway), in November, 1923, and Dr. Bolam certified on 27th October, 1923, that Puller was recovered from the accident. Puller is still doing light work, and claimed that he is unable to do his own work owing to the injury, and asked for light work rate to be paid.
Dr. Hall certified on 14th February, 1924, that Puller was "unable to follow his occupation as a hewer, he is only fit for light employment owing to injured spine."
Referred to Dr. Martin.
