MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Pollard v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec., No. 2:17-cv-1788-KJN (E.D. Cal. 2018):
"The principles of res judicata apply to administrative decisions, although the doctrine is applied less rigidly to administrative proceedings than to judicial proceedings. . . . The claimant, in order to overcome the presumption of continuing nondisability arising from the first administrative law judge's findings of nondisability, must prove 'changed circumstances' indicating a greater disability." Chavez v. Bowen, 844 F.2d 691, 693 (9th Cir. 1988).
