Hamilton Disability Case Backed by Federal Action
Crouse challenged Judge Field action calling it unreasonable. A Raleigh County circuit court judgment favored Crouse against Hamilton and Judge Knapp ordered Hamilton to pay 50 percent of the contract. Crouse then sued HEW secretary Celebrezze in Federal Court on February 3 1961 seeking disability benefits for Hamilton. Field ordered HEW to grant Hamilton a disability period and begin payments. Initial sums of 6582 and 5432 were paid to Hamilton and his minor children. Crouse sought a 50 percent attorney fee from the initial recovery and later filed to enforce against Hamilton and his children.
