Administrative Law: Social Security Disability-Denial Of Benefits-Treating Source Rule

Where appellant challenged the denial of disability insurance benefits, arguing that the administrative law judge erred in evaluating the opinion of her one-time treating doctor under Section 404.1520c, the ALJ properly evaluated the opinion since the regulation applied to claims like this filed after March 27, 2017, and explicitly abrogated the treating source rule.

Judgment is affirmed.
