2017The CRB affirmed, concluding that the ALJ’s Compensation Order properly applied the burden-shifting framework set out in Logan v. District of Columbia Dep’t of Emp’t Servs., 805 A.2d 237 (D.C. 2002), and that substantial evidence supported the ALJ’s determination that petitioner was not a credible witness, and thus had failed to demonstrate that he was totally and permanently disabled.
