133050P.pdf   11/06/2014  Penny Grable  v.  Carolyn W. Colvin
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-3050
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - St. Joseph   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Wollman and Loken, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Social Security. The ALJ may disregard or discount a treating 
   physician's opinion where other medical assessments are supported by 
   better or more thorough medical evidence, and the ALJ did not err in 
   giving greater weight to the testimony of specialists and experts in the 
   relevant fields; the ALJ's credibility determination regarding claimant's 
   testimony was supported by good reasons and substantial evidence, and the 
   court would defer to it; claimant's mental and physical condition, age, 
   and education fully support her ability to work the jobs identified by the 
   Vocational Expert, and the ALJ did not err in relying on the Vocational 
   Expert's testimony in determining claimant could perform semi-skilled work 
   and was not disabled.
