- holding substantial evidence supported ALJ’s finding that employer failed to rebut presumption that miner suffered from legal pneumoconiosis
- applying this same regulation to a case that was pending at the time the DOL promulgated the regulation
- “Even if the x-ray had been more readable and had shown no clinical pneumoconiosis, the ALJ’s determination of legal pneumoconi-osis would stand because legal pneumoco-niosis can be found without evidence of clinical pneumoconiosis.”
