United States Sixth Circuit
Cruse v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec., 06-5772
A decision finding that claimant was not disabled and therefore not entitled to disability insurance and supplemental security income benefits under the Social Security Act is affirmed over claims that: 1) the Commissioner afforded less than the proper amount of weight to the opinions of her treating physician and nurse practitioner; 2) the Commissioner erred in finding claimant's testimony about disabling pain, other symptoms, and functional limitations, less than credible; 3) the decision finding claimant was not disabled was not supported by substantial evidence; and 4) the Commissioner erred by failing to present vocational expert testimony.
