Description

Before: LIVELY and ENGEL, Circuit Judges; and PECK, Senior Circuit Judge Order Ruth Doak brought this action for review of a decision of the Secretary of Health and Human Services that she is not entitled to disability benefits under the Social Security Act. The district judge affirmed the Secretary's findings and dismissed Doak's complaint. She appeals contending that the decision is not supported by substantial evidence. Doak last satisfied the special earnings requirements for disability insured purposes on June 30, 1980. She claims, however, that her disability has existed since January 7, 1977. In hearings before the Administrative Law Judge (""ALJ"") and subsequently in the district court, she urged that she was totally disabled due to a wide variety of complaints, including damage to the muscle, nerve, tendons, and veins of the right arm; low back trouble; high blood pressure; nervousness; poor circulation; and fainting spells, all of which rendered her incapable of performing any of her former activities as a bender machine operator, nurse's aid, cashier, and pizza parlor cook. After carefully examining all of the evidence and hearing the testimony of Mrs. Doak and the witnesses whom she presented for the purposes of confirming her inability to perform various simple tasks, the ALJ specifically found that her testimony was exaggerated with regard to the severity of her condition and that the preponderance of medical evidence failed to support her complaints. The ALJ also noted that Doak's evidence concerning severe pain was neither supported by the clinical findings of any examining physician nor consistent with her history or his own observation of her. He therefore concluded that Mrs. Doak had the physical capacity to engage in a full range of sedentary work activity.
