An administrative law judge’s reliance on expert testimony in denying a claim for disability benefits was proper because the claimant suffered from both exertional and nonexertional limits, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled.
7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Mike Butler v. Kilolo Kijakazi, Acting Commissioner of Social Security
20-3187
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, South Bend Division. Judge Damon R. Leichty.
Civil. Affirms the denial of Mike Butler’s request for disability insurance benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act. Finds the administrative law judge did not fail to consider Butler’s age. Also finds the ALJ followed the procedures that are appropriate to a case such as this one in which exertional and nonexertional impairments impede the claimant’s ability to perform some jobs within a category. Finally, finds any error in the district court’s failure to recite expert testimony as to the number of jobs available to Butler to Indiana was harmless.
