Line 2 word illegible in cause of accident, some kind of implement.

Scrumpy Geoff

Thanks. All yours. I have to disappear for a while

pedroc

Line 3 compensation details need looking at. Done the best I can.

pedroc

Line 3 also has illegible word in cause of injury.

Scrumpy Geoff

Row 2, scythe?

Scrumpy Geoff

Row 3, 27 June? And paid not rate?

Scrumpy Geoff

Row 3 cause. Border????

pedroc

Definitely scythe Row 2. Row 3 border makes sense. I'm thinking 27 May ? counting up weeks but not sure if rate should be paid.

Scrumpy Geoff

Sounds good, go with all your thoughts. See you in the other set!

Scrumpy Geoff

Agree about rate. Date still looks more like a 6 than 5. Your call

pedroc

I'm sticking with 27 May - amended accordingly.
