Chaudry v. Astrue, No. 11-35072 (9th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this Case
Appellant applied for Social Security benefits, alleging that he became unable to walk because of a disability in 2005. Appellant's claim was denied in 2008. The ALJ held a hearing at Appellant's request and determined that Appellant's impairments notwithstanding, Appellant had the capacity to perform light work with specified limitations. The ALJ then concluded that Appellant was not disabled as defined in the Social Security Act. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the ALJ's determination, holding (1) the ALJ conducted a full and fair hearing; (2) the ALJ properly documented his analysis of Appellant's psychiatric impairments, and his analysis was supported by the record; and (3) the ALJ's interpretation of the medical evidence was supported by the record, as was his credibility determination.
