   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-3406
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Shepherd and Stras, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Social Security. The agency was justified in reopening claimant's case based on new, material information which had a reasonable probability of permitting claimant to retain certain contested benefits; claimant had adequate notice that the reopened proceedings could result in a determination that she was not disabled; claims that the agency was barred from reconsidering the original benefits award by res judicata or the "clean hands" doctrine rejected; the ALJ's determination that claimant was not disabled from 2012 onward was supported by substantial evidence; the ALJ did not err in rejecting certain medical evidence as not supported by the record and did not err in discounting claimant's credibility; statements of lay witnesses were not consistent with claimant's reported daily activities, and the ALJ did not err in discounting them; the ALJ did not err in determining that claimant could perform her past relevant work as a dental hygienist; ALJ's statement of claimant's residual functional capacity to the vocational expert comported with the evidence.
