MEMORANDUM ***

Eugene Willham appeals a judgment affirming the Commissioner of Social Security’s final decision that Willham was not disabled as defined by the Social Security Act, and not entitled to a period of disability or disability insurance benefits pursuant to Title II of the Social Security Act.

Willham filed an application for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits (Title XVI benefits) with a protective filing date of June 16, 1988, alleging that he had been disabled beginning May 29, 1988. Willham sustained a serious head injury when he hit a tree while riding his bicycle drunk on May 25,1988. The injury caused a neurological impairment, manifested by difficulty with speech and motor activity. An administrative law judge (ALJ) approved the application on December 8, 1988, finding that Willham was disabled beginning June 1, 1988, due to a neurological impairment, which met the criteria for Listing 11.18 of the Listing of Impairments at 20 C.F.R. pt. 404, subpt. P, app. 1. The agency subsequently suspended Willham’s SSI benefits on July 29, 1991, and terminated them effective July 1992, due to excess income following an award of veterans benefits.…
