Description
Ruby Dickerson appeals the District Courts order affirming the Commissioners decision to deny her application for supplemental security income. Dickerson had alleged she could not work because of epilepsy, heavy menstrual flow, and a nervous condition. After a hearing, the administrative law judge (ALJ) concluded, based upon the testimony of a vocational expert (VE), that Dickerson was not disabled because she had the residual functional capacity (RFC) to work as a handler and packer--light work involving simple and repetitive tasks, and allowing alternating sitting and standing. For reversal, Dickerson argues the ALJ erred (1) in concluding her impairments were severe, yet not disabling, and in discrediting her subjective complaints of pain, excessive menstrual bleeding, depression, anxiety, and impaired memory and concentration; (2) in formulating his hypothetical to the VE, because he ignored the opinion of Dr. Douglas Stevens, Dickersons consulting psychologist; and (3) in failing to establish she had the RFC to meet the physical and mental demands of the identified jobs.
