Description
Golden Moore, a 65-year old former coal miner, appeals from a judgment of the District Court affirming the denial of black lung benefits under the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969, as amended, 30 U.S.C. § 901, et seq. Claimant retired in November 1970 after working as a mechanic in coal mines approximately 25 years. He applied for black lung benefits in January 1971, thus falling under Part B of the Black Lung Benefit Act, 30 U.S.C. § 921, et seq. At that time he also filed an application for disability benefits under the Social Security Act based upon arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Social Security disability benefits were awarded in 1973. Following an administrative hearing in 1975, claimant was denied black lung benefits. The Administrative Law Judge's decision was approved by the Appeals Council and became the final decision of the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. The District Court found that the Secretary's decision denying black lung benefits was supported by substantial evidence. We agree with the District Court's conclusion and affirm.
