WESLEY E. BROWN, Senior District Judge.
This is an appeal from a decision of the Department of Labor Benefits Review Board. The Review Board modified an award of black lung disability benefits to Salomon Velasquez. The Board changed the entitlement date for payment of Velasquez’ benefits from January 1, 1974, to March 24, 1978. Velasquez appeals the decision of the Review Board under the authority of 33 U.S.C. § 921(c), and asks this court to restore January 1,1974, as the proper entitlement date for payment of his benefits.
