I have been discussing this with someone in our office who has experience of this sort of thing
Apparently Vibration White Finger has several levels, one level of which is recoverable.
Using this argument, if the person you are talking about has recovered from one bout of VWF in a previous job, he can sue for a second time if it can be proven that his employer has been negligent (but I would add that the employee with the previous issue should have informed his new employer of this so that the situation could be avoided in the future).
Hope this helps

Prognosis
"There is limited evidence to indicate that neurological symptoms do not improve. Vascular symptoms may show improvement after reducing or ceasing vibration exposure in patients below about 45 years of age and when the disease has not yet reached the advanced stage associated with disability. Any improvement is, however, slow, taking several years. Smoking may undermine recovery in these individuals. The vascular symptoms do not normally get worse after discontinuing exposure to HAV and in people where deterioration does arise this may be associated with other conditions (for example, collagen vascular disorders)."
