TitleLocal Appeal Tribunal case file for Samuel Skelton, aged 42, Conveyor erector at [colliery not stated]
Date1951
DescriptionDate of birth: 16/07/1908
Marital status: Married
Address: 18 Queen Street, Pilsley
Type of benefit claimed: Special Hardship Allowance
Type of injury: Not given
Further information: Special Hardship Allowance appeal heard at the Local Appeal Tribunal in Chesterfield on 5 July 1951 and appears to have been disallowed (there is no official record of the final decision; the word 'against' is pencilled on the form confirming the date and time of the tribunal). Skelton had received injury benefit for 6 months and then returned to his pre-accident occupation, he stated this was on the advice of his medical advisor. But as the benefit regulations require proof that such a return to work was 'for the purpose of rehabilitation or training or ascertaining whether he has recovered from the effects of the relvant injury' the appeal was likely to have been lost.
