U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-1030
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Bright and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Social Security. The ALJ did not err in concluding that
claimant's condition did not meet or equal the criteria of a chronic heart
failure listing; the ALJ did not err in refusing to give controlling
weight to the opinion of claimant's treating physician as it went to the
ultimate legal issue reserved for the Commissioner; the ALJ's
determination that claimant had maintained the Residual Functional
Capacity to perform sedentary work with certain limitations and that such
jobs existed in significant numbers was supported by substantial evidence
on the record as a whole. Judge Bright, dissenting.
