U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 17-1987
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Benton and Erickson, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Social Security. The ALJ did not err in weighing the treating
physician's opinion on claimant's functional limitations and giving it
less than controlling weight as the opinion that claimant had suffered
permanent, disabling nerve damage was not supported by objective medical
evidence in the administrative record and was, in fact contrary to two
specialists' medically supported opinions; argument concerning whether the
ALJ attributed greater hand functioning to claimant than the medical
evidence supported rejected.
