Administrative Law: Social Security-Denial Of Benefits-Residual Functional Capacity
Staff Report//July 1, 2024//
Where a claimant challenged the denial of Social Security disability benefits and supplemental security income, the administrative law judge’s weighing of a nurse practitioner’s opinion did not conflict with the law of the case, and the determination that the nurse practitioner’s opinion was inconsistent with the record as a whole was a reasonable conclusion.
Judgment is affirmed.
Bradford v. O’Malley (MLW No. 81710/Case No. 23-2629 – 8 pages) (U.S. Court of Appeals, 8th Circuit, Colloton, J.) Appealed from U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Arkansas, Harris, J.
