Date
1959
Description
Date of birth:
Marital status: Single
Address: Not given, Not given
Type of benefit claimed: Injury benefit

Further information: Accident certified as 'neck strain' had occurred when Moorley slipped whilst carrying a bag of cement. Subsequent medical certificates gave cervical arthritis and an X-ray showed 'gross hypertrophic arthritic changes of the cervical spine'.
