Thanks for your help everyone turns out all of the files with a doc extension that I was trying to upload had a mime type of - application/x-msword.

I had not come across this mime type whilst trying to solve it but looks like this is the fix. Any idea why the documents all have different mime types?

open application/config/mimes.php

change the line with 'docx' like this

'docx' => array('application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document','application/octet-stream'),
