Title	Local Appeal Tribunal case file for John William Potter, aged 49, Coal Miner Filler at [colliery not stated]
Date	1950
Description	Date of birth: Marital status: Married Address: 35 Hands Way, Heanor Type of benefit claimed: Disablement Benefit Type of injury: Pneumoconiosis Further information: Certified incapacity for sickness benefit from August 1949 with Bronchitis and neoplasm lung. According to a summary of the case submitted to the Local Appeal Tribunal, the certified cause of Potter's incapacity, for the period 13 August 1949 to 25 February 1950, was 'Bronchitis and neoplasm lung'. Later, Potter was informed by his doctors, after a consultation with specialists, that he had pneumoconiosis. Potter's initia claim for disablement benefit was rejected by the Insurance Officer, however, on the grounds that he had not made the claim within the prescribed timescale and was not able to prove there was 'good cause for failure to make the claim'. The Tribunal found that there was good cause for delay and found in Potter's favour. The case was then referred to the Pneumoconiosis Medical Panel for assessment.
