Date	1956
Description	Date of birth: Marital status: Married Address: 32 Priestley Avenue, Mickley, Stretton Type of benefit claimed: Industrial injury benefit Type of injury: Injury - spine Further information: Had accident while pulling a steel girder and suffered a sprain. Spondylosis of the cervical spine found to be underlying cause and the Medical Officer stated: 'Incapacity is not consistent with alleged injury'. Tribunal adjourned for medical evidence but once Doctor's information was received the appeal was advised to be withdrawn by the Compensation Agent as it did not support the case, explaining that pulling at a girder could have strained the dorsal or lumbar spine but not the cervical spine and the underlying cause was 'an ordinary case of cervical arthritis due to natural causes''.
