Vaughn v. Finch

This is an appeal from a judgment of the District Court affirming the decision of the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare that appellants disability, which began on January 31, 1964, terminated January 11, 1968. The Secretary determined that although appellant could not resume her former work because of her physical impairment, she could perform light sales work such as selling merchandise in department stores or other retail shops, and that there exist in the economy (and in her immediate vicinity as well) adequate employment opportunities of the type for which he found her qualified. The District Court found these determinations to be supported by substantial evidence.
