Hill v. Colvin, No. 13-2800 (8th Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff appealed the district court's order affirming the ALJ's determination that he was not entitled to disability benefits or supplemental security income. The court concluded that the ALJ's determination that plaintiff retained the residual functioning capacity to return to work as a truck driver was supported by substantial evidence. Because the ALJ did not proceed to step five of the five-step sequential process for evaluating disability claims on remand, vocational expert testimony was not required. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court.
Court Description: Civil case - Social Security. The ALJ's determination that claimant retained the residual functional capacity to return to his long-distance trucking job was supported by substantial evidence; since the ALJ's analysis did not proceed to "step five," vocational expert testimony was not required.
