Description
The Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare denied plaintiff's application to establish a period of disability and for disability insurance benefits under sections 216(i) and 423 of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §Â§ 416(i), 423.1 The District Court reversed the Secretary's decision and remanded the case to him with instructions to make an award of a period of disability and disability insurance benefits. The Secretary has appealed to this Court from the judgment of reversal. The only issue in the case before the Secretary was whether plaintiff was disabled within the meaning of the Act. At the time of his application for disability benefits plaintiff was a thirty-four old male with an eighth grade education, which he had completed at the age of seventeen. After leaving school he worked as a laborer, primarily in and around coal mines in Kentucky. He is married and has two children. In 1952 plaintiff was drafted into the Armed Services and while serving in Korea he received a combat wound in his right leg for which he is receiving partial disability benefits. The evidence showed that the wound was well healed.
