Laura Jan BROWN, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Louis W. SULLIVAN, Secretary of Health and Human Services, Defendant-Appellee
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Decided January 22, 1991No. 89-8709PublishedCited by 215 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
GODBOLD, Senior Circuit Judge:
Laura Jan Brown appeals from the district court’s affirmance of the Secretary’s determination of the onset date of her disability. She contends, among other things, that, because the Secretary did not apply the proper legal standard to subjective evidence of her pain, he incorrectly determined that she became totally disabled in 1981 rather than in 1978. In reply the Secretary asserts that he applied the proper standard to the subjective evidence of pain and that the doctrine of administrative res judicata bars an award of benefits for part of the pre-1982 period.
