Myers v. Astrue
Plaintiff appealed the denial of her application for Social Security disability benefits, disability insurance benefits, and supplemental security income. The court concluded that substantial evidence supported the ALJ's determination that plaintiff's doctor's opinion was inconsistent with the treatment record and thus not entitled to controlling weight; substantial evidence supported the ALJ's determination that plaintiff's impairments did not meet or equal a medical listing; because the residual functioning capacity (RFC) finding was supported by substantial evidence, it was proper for the ALJ to consider testimony of a vocational expert that was premised on the RFC; and the ALJ did not err in determining plaintiff's credibility. Accordingly, the court affirmed the district court's affirmance of the denial of benefits. View "Myers v. Astrue" on Justia Law
