Sheppard v. Astrue, No. 10-6172 (10th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff-Appellant Carl Sheppard appealed the district court’s order which denied his applications for disability insurance and supplemental security income benefits under the Social Security Act. The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) denied Plaintiff’s applications for benefits in January, 2008 because the part-time work Plaintiff was doing at the time of his application was “substantial gainful activity.” The Tenth Circuit found that the ALJ failed to apply the correct legal standards in arriving at his conclusion. Accordingly, the Court reversed the lower court and remanded the case for further proceedings.
