Administrative Law: SSDI and SSI-Denial of Benefits-Evidence of Impairments
Staff Report//October 2, 2019//
Plaintiff appealed from the district court’s denial of her application for SSDI and SSI benefits.
Where there was sufficient evidence to support an Administrative Law Judge’s determination that none of plaintiff’s impairments met any of the listings to qualify her for benefits, any post-hearing evidence did not undermine the ALJ’s decision and the district court was entitled to affirm the decision and deny the application for benefits.
Judgment is affirmed.
