TitleLocal Appeal Tribunal case file for Thomas Eather, aged 60, [job not stated] at Warsop Main
Date1950
DescriptionDate of birth: 12/02/1890
Marital status: Not given
Address: '"Willersley", New Mill Lane, Mansfield Woodhouse
Type of benefit claimed: Sickness benefit
Type of injury: Injury - groin
Further information: Thomas Eather had been a miner for 38 years. Eather's accident, according to testimony given before the tribunal on 7 December 1950, happened on 5 May 1948. Both of Eather's legs had been 'stretched apart by a conveyor belt which left him with a strain in his right groin'. The tribunal found against Eather at this hearing. An appeal to the Commissioner was allowed but Eather chose to abandon his claim, as he had begun a 'light job', a decision supported by the NUM. In a letter to Eather, dated 23 December 1950, the NUM thanked Eather for letting them know and for the 'Season's Compliments which I reciprocate with the hope that 1951 is a better year than what 1950 has been for you'.
