7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Eric Alvarado v. Carolyn W. Colvin
Case No.: 15-2925
Officials: POSNER, EASTERBROOK, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Disability Benefits
Substantial evidence supported ALJ’s finding that appellant could still engage in simple work.
In 1993, Eric Alvarado was granted disability benefits due to his impairments, which included a severe learning disorder. In 2004, the Social Security Administration stopped paying those benefits after determining that, despite his severe learning disorder, Alvarado could do certain relatively simple jobs. Because that determination was supported by substantial evidence, we affirm.
