United States Seventh Circuit

District court's affirmance of an ALJ's denial of claimant's application for Social Security disability benefits after he lost partial use of one arm in a snowmobile accident, claiming that he no longer could perform his past job as a mason or any other job, is affirmed where: 1) claimant has not presented any evidence of what further evidence the ALJ would have elicited and thus has not shown prejudice; and 2) ALJ did not err in concluding that there was no evidence that any side effects from medications would prevent claimant from working.
