United States Seventh Circuit

District court's affirmance of the Social Security Administration's denial of plaintiff's numerous claims under Title II of the Social Security Act for disability insurance and disability widow's benefits is affirmed where: 1) the ALJ considered all available evidence involving plaintiff's chronic fatigue syndrome and there was substantial evidence supporting the ALJ's conclusion that plaintiff's long-standing complaints did not render her disabled; 2) district court did not err in agreeing with the ALJ's obesity finding that plaintiff was not prevented by her impairments from performing her past work; and 3) district court did not err in upholding the ALJ's credibility determinations as the ALJ thoroughly examined the evidence and clearly articulated his findings.
