Curvin v. Colvin

Record contained sufficient evidence to support ALJ’s denial of claimant’s application for Social Security disability benefits based on claimant’s glaucoma condition. ALJ appropriately followed relevant 5-step analysis in finding that although claimant’s glaucoma condition in her right eye constituted severe impairment, her condition, according to her treating physicians, did not constitute impairment that met severity of listed impairments. Moreover, ALJ could properly conclude that claimant had residual functional capacity to perform full range of work at all exertion levels, and that claimant could perform her prior work as personal care worker. Ct., in reversing Dist. Ct.’s vacatur of ALJ’s decision, found that ALJ provided sufficient details to support his ruling, and that ALJ was not required to make credibility finding as to claimant's testimony at step 2 of process, where ALJ already found that claimant had established that she had severe impairment in her right eye.
