MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Byrnes v. Shalala, 60 F.3d 639 (9th Cir. 1995):
These findings, properly supported by the record, must be sufficiently specific to allow a reviewing court to conclude the adjudicator rejected the claimant's testimony on permissible grounds and did not arbitrarily discredit a claimant's testimony regarding pain.
Bunnell v. Sullivan, 947 F.2d at 345-46 (emphasis added) (citations omitted).
