These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(A) inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“(1) the hearing procedures were fair and lawful; (2) evidence was received on the material issues; (3) the findings of fact are supported by substantial evidence ; (4) the findings of fact are sufficient to resolve the crucial factual issues; (5) the correct legal standards were applied in determining the ultimate issues; (6) all regulations of defendant, applied in arriving at the decision, were lawful and valid as applied in this case; and (7) it appears in finding the facts that claimant was required to sustain no greater burden of proof than proof by a preponderance of the evidence.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““In a social security disability case, a decision that the claimant failed to show that he could not follow his usual occupation . . . requires no further findings, although, according to cases ... an express finding with respect to what the claimant can do and what employment opportunities are open to him is required when the claim is denied but a finding is made [or proper] that the claimant is unable to engage in his usual occupation.””
