477 F.2d 138
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (1973)
Positive Treatment
Cited by 2 cases
Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM:
There was substantial evidence from which the Secretary could conclude that Havens’ epileptic seizures could be controlled by medication and abstinence from alcohol. There is no merit in the appellant’s contention that his chronic alcoholism or the symptoms resulting from his excessive use of alcohol compelled a different result in the evaluation of his claim of disability. Osborne v. Cohen, 409 F. 2d 37 (6th Cir. 1969); Roberts v. Gardner, 396 F. 2d 501 (4th Cir. 1968); Hirst v. Gardner, 365 F. 2d 125 (7th Cir. 1966); Brasher v. Celebrezze, 340 F. 2d 413 (8th Cir. 1965). The judgment of the district court is
Affirmed.
