Description
Wolf Creek Collieries (Wolf Creek or Petitioner) seeks review of the Benefits Review Board's (Board's) order affirming an administrative law judge's (ALJ's) award of survivor benefits to Olga Robinson under Part C of the Black Lung Benefits Act, 30 U.S.C. § 901 et seq. Wolf Creek contends that the Board erred in failing to hold that the remarriage of Robinson's widow permanently terminated her eligibility for black lung benefits under 30 U.S.C. § 902(e) and the implementing regulations. Alternatively, Petitioner argues that substantial evidence does not support the ALJ's invocation of the irrebuttable presumption of total disability pursuant to 30 U.S.C. § 921(c)(3) and 20 C.F.R. § 410.418. We find no merit to these arguments, and, accordingly, affirm the Board's order.
