On the Notice of Appeal dated 10 December 1950, he appealed against the final assessment of 5 per cent for life on the grounds that 'I have a nerve pain which comes down my right side every four minutes of my waking hours [...] I claim that my disability is more than the 5 per cent.' There is a Psychiatrist's report dated 24 January 1951 from The Coppice Hospital which details personal and family history. The conclusion states 'this man is suffering from post-traumatic neurosis, which is mainly of the sensory hysteria type, bases [sic] on his obsessional personality.' There is a handwritten letter dated 5 March 1951 by Eather which describes his feelings about the appeal and his working conditions and wages. On appeal on 8 March 1951 the tribunal found that the extent of disablement was 10 per cent, on the grounds that 'This man is suffering from post-traumatic neurosis. Physically there is no loss of faculty.'
