TitleLocal Appeal Tribunal case file for Ernest Swain, aged 50, Filler at Glapwell
Date1956
DescriptionDate 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 Tribunal adjourned for medical evidence but once Doctor's information was received the appeal was advised to be withdrawn by the Compensation Agent as it did not support the case, explaining that pulling at a girder could have strained the dorsal or lumbar spine but not the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''.
