What is the burden of proving a person is disabled?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Tankabakyan v. Sullivan, 936 F.2d 579 (9th Cir. 1991):
Claimant did not meet his burden of proving that he is disabled. Although claimant provided several medical reports that concluded he was disabled, a closer examination reveals that many of these reports were not clinically supported. Clinically unsupported medical reports do little to substantiate a claimant's claim. See Howard v. Heckler, 782 F.2d 1484, 1486 (9th Cir.1986).
