An further Medical Board Report dated 29 April 1949 'is of opinion that this man requires psychiatric investigation.' In Hulland's statement, it states 'Unable to concentrate, mind will not work. Loses time from work due to exhaustion. Has been feeling like this since 1931, worse in past two years. Seems to be losing his senses.' Psychiatric assessment recommended by chairman of medical board. Appeal lost as claimant is not suffering from Miner's Nystagmus. Decision of 23 May 1949 upheld. |
