Does the "conventional" standard of review apply to disability determinations?

With one exception, discussed below, courts have rejected both these positions. Courts have recognized that the "conventional `substantial evidence'" standard of review which Parodi seeks to apply does not apply to disability determinations because section 8347(c) places a "special and unusual restriction on judicial examination," Scroggins v. United States, 397 F.2d 295, 297, 298 (Ct.Cl.), cert. denied, 393 U.S. 952, 89 S.Ct. 376, 21 L.Ed.2d 363 (1968).²
