Date	1958
Description	Date of birth: Marital status: Not given Address: Not given, Not given Type of benefit claimed: Special Hardship Allowance Type of injury: Multiple injuries Further information: Since the accident Priest had returned to work as a general worker with an average wage of £8 10s 0d whereas in his pre-accident occupation his earnings would have been £9 16s 0d. His loss of faculty was finally settled at 10 per cent disablement for life. The first Local Appeal set for 15 July 1958 was adjourned for checks with the Colliery with regard to earnings capacity when overtime as 'key man' in the previous occupation was taken into account; the NUM representative who attended (Cyril Stone) wrote 'Mr Priest did sign to agree for his case next time to be heard by a different Tribunal'.Miss Lee was the named Insurance Officer at both hearings. The success of the appeal raised the weekly Special Hardship Allowance paid from 26s to 34s for the period in question.
