Description
POSNER, Chief Judge. John Kolman sought social security disability benefits. They were denied on the ground that he was capable of doing his former work. The district court upheld this determination, but we reversed, Kolman v. Sullivan, 925 F.2d 212 (7th Cir. 1991), because the former work was a makework training job and we didnt think that such a job counted as substantial gainful employment. On remand, the Social Security Administration finally--after twelve years--awarded Kolman disability benefits. He applied to the district court for an award of attorneys fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d). The district court denied the application on the ground that the position that the Administration had taken in court, although ultimately rejected, had had a substantial justification.
