Description
Teddy L. Crowder appeals from the district court's order upholding the Secretary's denial of Crowder's application for disability insurance benefits. Finding that substantial evidence supports the Secretary's decision, we affirm. In concluding that Crowder was not disabled, the administrative law judge found that Crowder had severe, longstanding occupational limitations due to adult onset diabetes mellitus, exogenous obesity, hypertension, and chronic low back strain; that he retained the residual functional capacity to perform light through sedentary work; and that his residual functional capacity for at least unskilled, low stress light and sedentary work was not reduced by his pain, diabetic, hypertensive, psychiatric, and visual restrictions. Crowder maintains that the administrative law judge failed to give fair consideration to his psychiatric impairments and failed to adequately include those impairments in his hypothetical to the vocational expert.
