7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Leta Penrod, et al. v. Nancy A. Berryhill

Case No.: 17-2973

Officials: WOOD, Chief Judge, and KANNE and SCUDDER, Circuit Judges.

Focus: ALJ Error – Disability

Leta Penrod brings this appeal on behalf of her deceased husband, Tod Penrod, who before his death applied for disability insurance benefits based on various impairments, including arthritis, diabetes, and high blood pressure. An administrative law judge determined that, despite these impairments, Penrod retained the capacity to work through his last insured date. Because substantial evidence supports that decision, we affirm.
