1Opinion of the Court
CLARK, Chief Judge:
On May 17, 1983, appellant Freddie E. Milam filed for disability benefits under the Social Security Act, alleging that he was unable to work because of injuries sustained in two automobile accidents. He was denied benefits administratively at three levels.
Milam then obtained a de novo hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. The AU also denied benefits, finding that appellant was not disabled within the meaning of the Social Security Act. The Appeals Council did not grant Milam’s request for review, and the AU’s decision thus became the final decision of the Secretary.
