Civil Case - social security. Decision denying disability insurance and supplemental security income benefits is affirmed, as substantial evidence supports decision to that claimant retains the residual functional capacity to perform work in the national economy. The ALJ did not err in discrediting opinions of treating physicians that were internally inconsistent and unsupported by the record or err in properly assessing claimant's credibility. ALJ properly applied Polaski factors.
