U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 10-2059
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Wollman and Loken, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Social Security. Physician's post-hearing letter did not
contain any additional information and was not relied upon in the decision
making process, and its receipt did not violate claimant's due process
rights; ALJ did not err in finding claimant retained the residual functional
capacity to perform certain kinds of low-stress work; no error in decision
not to order a consultative examination regarding claimant's mental
impairments; hypothetical question posed to the Vocational Expert
adequately addressed impairments supported by the record.
