Title	Local Appeal Tribunal case file for Joseph Stevenson Bamford, aged 50, Electric borer at Coppice
Date	1962
Description	Date of birth: Marital status: Not given Address: 21 Wright Street, Codnor Type of benefit claimed: Special Hardship Allowance Type of injury: Beat knee and shoulder injury. Further information: Post-accident Bamford also worked at Langley Mill Colliery. The Area Medical Officer in a letter to Parkin at NUM headed Private & Confidentisl, states'I have no recollection or record of having told Mr Bamford […] that he would not go down the pit again. [...] his right shoulder will not stand up to using a rams head on the coal face for top hole boring'. GP wrote 'He was buried in 1955 and had fears of being buried again. He was suffering from an endogenous depression. [...] at present, the M.N.I. does not seem to be able to take much account of the mental sufferings of a man consequent upon an accident, but only pays regard to residual physical disabilities'. Letters between Herbert Parkin at NUM and George Oliver MP: 'The Ministry requires him to come down into the mine, but the NCB doctor refuses to let him do so' and ''I could have arranged for a re-hearing of the case, as I have done many times when members have failed to put in an appearnace [...] We deliberately refuse to represent them when they don't turn up , as if the decision goes against them they can complain that we had not been instructed to represent them'.
