Further information: Cope's appeal letter included: 'I appeal against the Insurance Officer's decision of 2 per cent of loss of faculty and the £27: 15: 0 disablement gratuity. As I am barred from working at the coal face by my disability of dermatitis I do not think the percentage is anything like fair. I was earning on average £18 a week when I contracted the dermatitis'.
