A further medical board report of 23 June 1950 states 'mentally is retarded and introspective.' The appeal was against the assessment of 15 per cent for life from 27 July 1950 (previous assessments had been 70 per cent and 50 per cent). The medical board also noted there was 'hyperpiesis'which was assessed at 20 per cent, although unrelated to the relevant accident. On appeal on 14 September 1950 the assessment was increased to 25 per cent for life. |
