Harper v. Astrue, No. 10-5136 (10th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this Case
Plaintiff Laurie Harper appealed a district court's order that affirmed the denial of her disability benefits. Plaintiff alleged her disability was based on fibromyalgia and depression. The Social Security Administration denied her applications initially and on reconsideration. The Administrative Law Judge determined that she was not "disabled" within the meaning of the Social Security Act. Upon review of the testimony of the expert witnesses and the record of the Commission's analysis of her case, the Tenth Circuit found sufficient evidence to support Ms. Harper's claim of disability in this case. The Court reversed the district court's order and remanded the case to the Commissioner for further proceedings.
