“None of the (hypothetical) claims examiners had names like this. It was like ‘Jane Doe.’ Bland names, which is appropriate (for the tone of a training manual),” said Jerison, whose father, Mound physicist James Goode, died in 1960 at age 36. After a six-year process, Jerison helped her mother win survivor benefits, but her mother died in 2008 before the money arrived.In a letter to Labor officials, chemist David Manuta of Waverly, a member of the Alliance of Nuclear Worker Advocacy Groups, called the humor “examples of (a) history of disrespect” for applicants.Manuta also criticized the “shameful comments” in May of program Director Rachel Leiton, who, according to a meeting transcript, told an advisory board that sick workers couldn’t be trusted to tell the truth in affidavits about their work history at atomic plants. Many cases involve decades-ago employment for which records are hard to find.
