What is the burden of proving that a person is disabled?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Malone v. Sullivan, 894 F.2d 1344 (9th Cir. 1990):
The claimant has the burden of proving that he is disabled within the meaning of 42 U.S.C. Sec. 423(d)(1)(A), and that he is therefore entitled to benefits. Once he has met his burden, the burden then shifts to the Secretary to show that there are other types of work in the national economy that the claimant is capable of performing "given [the claimant's] residual functional capacity, age, education and work experience." Cooper v. Sullivan, 880 F.2d 1152, 1155 (9th Cir.1989).
