Locker, Administrator Workers' Compensation INSURANCE JUL 2 8 1980 JIM. L. REDACTED FILE HUMBER: H 52 CC kl87219 RG CLAIMANT YOUR FILE NUMBER: 78-3783DC REDACTED Dear Mr. Locker: Thank you for your letter of July 9, 1980 which came to my attention on July l6, 1980. Evidently your letter of June 3, 1980 was never received in our Unit. In response to the questions raised in your letter of June 3, 1980, Dr. Bartos did examine : in his office on June 15, 1979. Evidently a copy of this report was never sent to your attention. Attached is a copy of this report, In regard to Dr. Burnett's report, his was a pre-employment physical that was given tc before she came to work for your company. I doubt whether the judge at the Workers' Compensation Board made his decision based on that report. Dr. J, Robert Smith had given testimony at one of the hearings. His testimony plus the fact that benzene was a component of the products being mixed at your store, were probably the basis for the judge's decision. We have no report from any doctor indicating a direct rela tionship between employment and her leukemia. Since we appealed the decision there has been no activity on the file. Attorney Oot, who represents the claimant, had written a request to the Board dated April 1, 1980 for another hearing to take the testimony of Dr. Bartos. As yet, no hearing has been scheduled.
