McCoy v. Astrue, No. 10-3555 (8th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseAppellant alleged that he was disabled as a result of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Parkinson's disease, Attention Deficit Disorder, and peripheral neuropathy and that these mental and physical limitations he had as a result of these conditions, combined with his advanced age and limited job skills, rendered him unable to perform any work available in the national economy. Appellant challenged the district court's affirmance of the Social Security Administration's (SSA) denial of his claim for disability benefits. The court affirmed the judgment and held that the ALJ's findings were supported by substantial evidence.
Court Description: Civil case - Social Security.
