Further information: Working on nights […] he was struck on the jaw by a hammer-shaft' The accident happened on 12 August 1952, but a claim for Special Hardship Allowance was refused in July 1953 and the grounds for appeal was being 'unable to follow my regular occupation or an occupation of an equivalent standard.'
