Summary of case: The Middlesbrough tribunal granted exemption until December 1 with leave to appeal. County tribunal reduced time to 1 Oct, final. I have since had medical re-examination and my grade lowered from A1 to B2 and under the changed grading, I beg to ask for a fresh tribunal. I am still not satisfied that my grade is correct, because my case is exceptional, as you will see from the certificates enclosed. Wilkinson has gastric ulcers.

Supporting evidence: Yes
Date and decision of North Riding Appeal Tribunal: 31 Oct 1918. Allowed to 1 May 1919. |
