United States Ninth Circuit
Lockwood v. Comm'r Soc. Sec. Admin., 09-35546
In a petition for review of the denial of social security benefits to petitioner, claiming that the ALJ erred when she failed to explain in her written decision why she treated a social security claimant as being a person closely approaching advanced age instead of treating the claimant as being a person of advanced age, the petition is denied where the ALJ did not err because she was required by regulation only to consider whether to use the older age category.
