The claimant's grounds of appeal dated 4 February 1959 state 'Having tried to do my own work, I am in danger of receiving a further accident, because I cannot grip with my left hand and I have to get in a dangerous position to use my right hand.' the appeal was disallowed but the claimant was advised that if his earnings changed he should make another application. |
