Damron v. Secretary of Health And Human Services

Plaintiff Madelyn Damron appeals the District Courts grant of summary judgment in favor in the Secretary. Damron filed an application for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) on July 6, 1982, which was denied both initially and on reconsideration. An Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) heard the case on April 7, 1983, and denied benefits as well. The Appeals Council affirmed the ALJs decision. The issue in this case is whether the District Court erred in holding that the final decision of the Secretary was supported by substantial evidence on the record.
