United States Eighth Circuit

In plaintiff's appeal from the judgment of the district court upholding the Social Security Commissioner's denial of his application for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income, the order is affirmed where: 1) plaintiff's experts' reports did not support plaintiff's argument that they concluded borderline intellectual functioning was a severe impairment separate and apart from a learning disorder; and 2) the hypothetical the ALJ gave to a vocational expert properly incorporated the limitations imposed by plaintiff's physical disabilities in combination with his cognitive impairments, and was not defective.
