Hines v. Barnhart
Aug 28, 2006OUTCOME: Award of Benefits Upheld
Social Security denied disability benefits to a claimant because there was not sufficient objective proof of his pain. I filed this case in Federal District Court. We established that there was suffici ... ent subjective proof of the claimant's pain to support a finding of disability. The District Court agreed and awarded benefits. Social Security appealed to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals upheld the District Court's award of benefits.
