Description

This is an appeal from a district court judgment upholding the denial of social security disability benefits. The administrative law judges decision on which the denial was based found that the claimant, Dorothy Strittmatter, was, despite her severe impairments, capable of doing the work she had done in the past. This finding (if supportable) required denial of her claim for disability benefits. 42 U.S.C. Â§ 423(d)(2)(A); 20 C.F.R. Â§ 404.1520; Wallschlaeger v. Schweiker, 705 F.2d 191, 197 (7th Cir. 1983). If the finding had been to the contrary, the administrative law judge would have proceeded to apply the "grid" (20 C.F.R. Appendix 2 (Medical-Vocational Guidelines)) described in Cummins v. Schweiker, 670 F.2d 81, 82-83 (7th Cir. 1982), to determine whether the claimant was disabled.
