Description
WELLFORD, Circuit Judge. This is an appeal from a denial of black lung benefits. Prater, a coal miner, filed a claim for federal Black Lung Benefits Act benefits on April 30, 1979. On October 5, 1979, the Department of Labor (DOL) initially notified the claimant that he was ""eligible for benefits"", but none were awarded because he was still working. He quit working on November 15, 1979. The employer, Hite Preparation Company, however, denied liability and the claim was further processed by the DOL. A hearing was held before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).
