1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 11 LAU JUNITA TAYLOR, 12 13 14 15 No. 2:14-cv-1156 CKD Plaintiff, v. ORDER CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant. 16 17 18 Plaintiff seeks judicial review of a final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security 19 (“Commissioner”) denying an application for Disabled Widow’s Benefits (“DWB”) based on the 20 earnings account of her late husband pursuant to Title II of the Social Security Act (“Act”). For 21 the reasons discussed below, the court will deny plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment and 22 grant the Commissioner’s cross-motion for summary judgment. 23 BACKGROUND 24 Plaintiff, born January 29, 1955, applied on November 9, 2010 for DWB, alleging 25 disability beginning May 15, 2008. Administrative Transcript (“AT”) 75, 96, 169-171. Plaintiff 26 alleged she was unable to work due to neck, shoulder and back problems and depression. In an 27 amended decision dated January 16, 2013, the ALJ determined that plaintiff was disabled 28 beginning on January 29, 2010 but was not disabled prior to that date and was not therefore 1 1 eligible for Widow’s Insurance Benefits because she did not become disabled on or before March 2 31, 2009.1 AT 10-21. The ALJ made the following findings (citations to 20 C.F.R. omitted): 3 It was previously found that the claimant is the unmarried widow of the deceased insured worker and has attained the age of 50. The claimant met the non-disability requirements for disabled widow’s benefits set forth in [the Act]. 4 5 The prescribed period ended on March 31, 2009. 6 ///// 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 1 To be eligible for DWB, plaintiff must show that she became disabled within seven years of her spouse’s death. 20 C.F.R. § 404.335(c)(1). In this case, the prescribed period began on March 17, 2002, the date plaintiff’s spouse died. Plaintiff premised her application on disability benefits under Title II. Disability Insurance Benefits are paid to disabled persons who have contributed to the Social Security program, 42 U.S.C. § 401 et seq. Supplemental Security Income is paid to disabled persons with low income. 42 U.S.C. § 1382 et seq. Both provisions define disability, in part, as an “inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity” due to “a medically determinable physical or mental impairment. . . .” 42 U.S.C. §§ 423(d)(1)(a) & 1382c(a)(3)(A). A parallel five-step sequential evaluation governs eligibility for benefits under both programs. See 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1520, 404.1571-76, 416.920 & 416.971-76; Bowen v. Yuckert, 482 U.S. 137, 140-142, 107 S. Ct. 2287 (1987). The following summarizes the sequential evaluation: Step one: Is the claimant engaging in substantial gainful activity? If so, the claimant is found not disabled. If not, proceed to step two. Step two: Does the claimant have a “severe” impairment? If so, proceed to step three. If not, then a finding of not disabled is appropriate. Step three: Does the claimant’s impairment or combination of impairments meet or equal an impairment listed in 20 C.F.R., Pt. 404, Subpt. P, App.1? If so, the claimant is automatically determined disabled. If not, proceed to step four. Step four: Is the claimant capable of performing his past work? If so, the claimant is not disabled. If not, proceed to step five. Step five: Does the claimant have the residual functional capacity to perform any other work? If so, the claimant is not disabled. If not, the claimant is disabled. 26 Lester v. Chater, 81 F.3d 821, 828 n.5 (9th Cir. 1995). 27 The claimant bears the burden of proof in the first four steps of the sequential evaluation process. Bowen, 482 U.S. at 146 n.5, 107 S. Ct. at 2294 n.5. The Commissioner bears the burden if the sequential evaluation process proceeds to step five. Id. 2 28 1 The claimant has not engaged in substantial gainful activity since the alleged onset date. 2 3 4 5 6 Since the alleged onset date of disability, May 15, 2008, the claimant has had the following severe impairments: right neck and right shoulder and back pain, and degenerative disk disease of the lower back. Since the alleged onset date of disability, May 15, 2008, the claimant has not had an impairment or combination of impairments that meets or medically equals one of the listed impairments in 20 CFR Part 404, Subpart P, Appendix 1. 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 After careful consideration of the entire record, the undersigned finds that prior to January 29, 2010, the date the claimant became disabled, the claimant has the residual functional capacity to perform less than the full range of light work as defined in [the regulations]. Specifically, the claimant could lift and/or carry ten pounds frequently, twenty pounds occasionally; she could sit, stand and/or walk for six hours out of an eight-hour workday; she could frequently push/pull with the right upper extremity, but could never reach over head with the right upper extremity; she could frequently climb ramps and stairs, stoop, kneel, and crouch; she is never to climb ladders, ropes, and scaffolds; she could occasionally crawl and she is to have no exposure to hazards such as moving machinery and unprotected heights. 14 15 16 17 Since May 15, 2008, the claimant has been unable to perform any past relevant work. Prior to the established disability onset date, the claimant was an individual closely approaching advanced age. On January 29, 2010, the claimant’s age category changed to an individual of advanced age. 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 The claimant has at least a high-school education and is able to communicate in English. Prior to January 29, 2010, transferability of job skills is not material to the determination of disability because using the MedicalVocational Rules as a framework supports a finding that the claimant is “not disabled” whether or not the claimant has transferable job skills. Beginning on January 29, 2010, the claimant has not been able to transfer job skills to other occupations. Prior to January 29, 2010, the date the claimant’s age category changed, considering the claimant’s age, education, work experience, and residual functional capacity, there were jobs that existed in significant numbers in the national economy that the claimant could have performed. Beginning on January 29, 2010, the date the claimant’s age category changed, considering the claimant’s age, education, work experience, and residual functional capacity, there are no jobs that 28 3 1 exist in significant numbers in the national economy that the claimant could perform. 2 The claimant was not disabled prior to January 29, 2010, but became disabled on that date and has continued to be disabled through the date of this decision. However, the claimant is not eligible for Widow’s Insurance Benefits because she did not become disabled on or before March 31, 2009. 3 4 5 6 AT 12-21. 7 ISSUES PRESENTED 8 Plaintiff argues that the ALJ improperly discredited her testimony, improperly discounted 9 lay witness testimony, improperly rejected the opinion of a treating physician, assessed a residual 10 functional capacity which did not include all of her work restrictions, and posed an incomplete 11 hypothetical to the vocational expert. 12 LEGAL STANDARDS 13 The court reviews the Commissioner’s decision to determine whether (1) it is based on 14 proper legal standards pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), and (2) substantial evidence in the record 15 as a whole supports it. Tackett v. Apfel, 180 F.3d 1094, 1097 (9th Cir. 1999). Substantial 16 evidence is more than a mere scintilla, but less than a preponderance. Connett v. Barnhart, 340 17 F.3d 871, 873 (9th Cir. 2003) (citation omitted). It means “such relevant evidence as a reasonable 18 mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion.” Orn v. Astrue, 495 F.3d 625, 630 (9th 19 Cir. 2007), quoting Burch v. Barnhart, 400 F.3d 676, 679 (9th Cir. 2005). “The ALJ is 20 responsible for determining credibility, resolving conflicts in medical testimony, and resolving 21 ambiguities.” Edlund v. Massanari, 253 F.3d 1152, 1156 (9th Cir. 2001) (citations omitted). 22 “The court will uphold the ALJ’s conclusion when the evidence is susceptible to more than one 23 rational interpretation.” Tommasetti v. Astrue, 533 F.3d 1035, 1038 (9th Cir. 2008). 24 The record as a whole must be considered, Howard v. Heckler, 782 F.2d 1484, 1487 (9th 25 Cir. 1986), and both the evidence that supports and the evidence that detracts from the ALJ’s 26 conclusion weighed. See Jones v. Heckler, 760 F.2d 993, 995 (9th Cir. 1985). The court may not 27 affirm the ALJ’s decision simply by isolating a specific quantum of supporting evidence. Id.; see 28 also Hammock v. Bowen, 879 F.2d 498, 501 (9th Cir. 1989). If substantial evidence supports the 4 1 administrative findings, or if there is conflicting evidence supporting a finding of either disability 2 or nondisability, the finding of the ALJ is conclusive, see Sprague v. Bowen, 812 F.2d 1226, 3 1229-30 (9th Cir. 1987), and may be set aside only if an improper legal standard was applied in 4 weighing the evidence. See Burkhart v. Bowen, 856 F.2d 1335, 1338 (9th Cir. 1988). 5 ANALYSIS 6 A. Plaintiff’s Credibility 7 Plaintiff contends the ALJ improperly discredited her testimony. The ALJ determines 8 whether a disability applicant is credible, and the court defers to the ALJ’s discretion if the ALJ 9 used the proper process and provided proper reasons. See, e.g., Saelee v. Chater, 94 F.3d 520, 10 522 (9th Cir. 1995). If credibility is critical, the ALJ must make an explicit credibility finding. 11 Albalos v. Sullivan, 907 F.2d 871, 873-74 (9th Cir. 1990); Rashad v. Sullivan, 903 F.2d 1229, 12 1231 (9th Cir. 1990) (requiring explicit credibility finding to be supported by “a specific, cogent 13 reason for the disbelief”). 14 In evaluating whether subjective complaints are credible, the ALJ should first consider 15 objective medical evidence and then consider other factors. Bunnell v. Sullivan, 947 F.2d 341, 16 344 (9th Cir. 1991) (en banc). If there is objective medical evidence of an impairment, the ALJ 17 then may consider the nature of the symptoms alleged, including aggravating factors, medication, 18 treatment and functional restrictions. See id. at 345-47. The ALJ also may consider: (1) the 19 applicant’s reputation for truthfulness, prior inconsistent statements or other inconsistent 20 testimony, (2) unexplained or inadequately explained failure to seek treatment or to follow a 21 prescribed course of treatment, and (3) the applicant’s daily activities. Smolen v. Chater, 80 F.3d 22 1273, 1284 (9th Cir. 1996); see generally SSR 96-7P, 61 FR 34483-01; SSR 95-5P, 60 FR 55406- 23 01; SSR 88-13. Work records, physician and third party testimony about nature, severity and 24 effect of symptoms, and inconsistencies between testimony and conduct also may be relevant. 25 Light v. Social Security Administration, 119 F.3d 789, 792 (9th Cir. 1997). A failure to seek 26 treatment for an allegedly debilitating medical problem may be a valid consideration by the ALJ 27 in determining whether the alleged associated pain is not a significant nonexertional impairment. 28 See Flaten v. Secretary of HHS, 44 F.3d 1453, 1464 (9th Cir. 1995). The ALJ may rely, in part, 5 1 on his or her own observations, see Quang Van Han v. Bowen, 882 F.2d 1453, 1458 (9th Cir. 2 1989), which cannot substitute for medical diagnosis. Marcia v. Sullivan, 900 F.2d 172, 177 n.6 3 (9th Cir. 1990). “Without affirmative evidence showing that the claimant is malingering, the 4 Commissioner’s reasons for rejecting the claimant’s testimony must be clear and convincing.” 5 Morgan v. Commissioner of Social Sec. Admin., 169 F.3d 595, 599 (9th Cir. 1999). 6 Plaintiff testified that she could not perform any kind of work due to the surgery on her 7 shoulder and problems with back pain. AT 46, 51. The ALJ found plaintiff’s testimony 8 regarding the intensity, persistence and limiting effects of her symptoms to be only partially 9 credible. AT 15. In according only partial credibility, the ALJ considered the entirety of the 10 medical record, which showed routine, conservative and non-emergency treatment since the 11 alleged onset date. AT 16, 521, 527, 542, 571, 662, 1271-1274,1437, 1448. The ALJ noted that 12 the cervical spine x-ray dated May 20, 2008 showed no significant abnormal findings except 13 spondylosis of the lower cervical spine and that an August, 2008 MRI showed loss of the cervical 14 lordotic curvature, combined disc bulge and osteophytic ridge formation at C5-6 with no evidence 15 of cord effacement at this level and no evidence of spinal or neural foraminal stenosis at the C6-7 16 level. AT 17. With respect to plaintiff’s shoulder impairment, which plaintiff testified was a 17 major reason she could not perform physical activity, the ALJ accurately summarized the medical 18 records which showed that although plaintiff continued to have problems after her industrial 19 injury in May, 2008, after right shoulder arthroscopy, plaintiff showed continued improvement 20 and that by June 2010 she had nearly complete full range of motion and was returned to work for 21 her right shoulder with no restrictions in July 2010. AT 17, 1269. The ALJ also considered 22 plaintiff’s activities of daily living, which included taking care of her mother, preparing meals, 23 shopping, doing laundry, vacuuming, going to church and performing some yard work. AT 16, 24 45 (plaintiff testified she performed in home support services work for her mother constituting 25 approximately 77 hours per month), 1136 (lifting vacuum), 1788 (lifting wheel chair), 1793 26 (helped mother loading scooter into car, works out regularly at home on treadmill and light 27 weights). The ALJ also considered that plaintiff’s alleged loss of function was not supported by 28 objective medical findings. AT 16, 1426-1427 (EMG and nerve conduction study of upper 6 1 extremities essentially normal), AT 494, 521, 528, 542,1265 (neurological functioning on 2 physical examination intact), 1176, 1264-1269 (almost completely intact right shoulder range of 3 motion, mild tenderness on palpation to the neck, full neck range motion, intact rotator cuff 4 strength). The reasons set forth by the ALJ for finding plaintiff only partially credible meet the 5 standards set forth above. The credibility finding will not be disturbed. 6 B. Lay witness evidence 7 Plaintiff also contends that the ALJ improperly discounted lay witness evidence. “[L]ay 8 witness testimony as to a claimant’s symptoms or how an impairment affects ability to work is 9 competent evidence, and therefore cannot be disregarded without comment.” Nguyen v. Chater, 10 100 F.3d 1462, 1467 (9th Cir. 1996); see also Dodrill v. Shalala, 12 F.3d 915, 918-19 (9th Cir. 11 1993) (friends and family members in a position to observe a plaintiff’s symptoms and daily 12 activities are competent to testify to condition). “If the ALJ wishes to discount the testimony of 13 the lay witnesses, he must give reasons that are germane to each witness.” Dodrill, 12 F.3d at 14 919. 15 Third party function reports were provided by plaintiff’s son, Kevin Smith, and plaintiff’s 16 friend, Lakesha Evans, who is also the care provider for plaintiff’s mother. AT 225-236. The 17 ALJ found the reports to be only partially credible. Specifically, the ALJ found the reports to be 18 helpful and generally credible with respect to the detail provided in the reports regarding 19 plaintiff’s actual activities, but discredited the reports to the extent they purported to provide a 20 diagnosis or assessment of the severity of plaintiff’s symptoms in relation to her ability to work. 21 AT 16. The ALJ instead relied on the record medical opinions to discount the limitations 22 reported by the third parties. Both reports indicated that plaintiff had limitations in walking, 23 sitting and use of her right hand. AT 229, 235. The ALJ appropriately rejected these assessments 24 by lay witnesses in favor of the state agency physician and treating physicians who opined that 25 plaintiff could perform a range of light work with occasional overhead reaching, had no 26 restrictions with the use of the right shoulder/arm, and had no sitting, standing and walking 27 limitations. AT 1265 (Dr. Weiss), 1771-1775 (state agency), 1875-77 (Dr. Palomino). The ALJ 28 also considered the inconsistency between the third party reports and the record medical evidence 7 1 which showed plaintiff had almost a complete range of motion in her right shoulder, had normal 2 gait and grip strength, and had no neurological deficits. AT 1175, 1263, 1269. Although not a 3 particularly compelling factor because there is no evidence in the record that plaintiff’s adult son 4 is dependent on plaintiff for support, the ALJ also appropriately considered the possible bias of a 5 family member who would be motivated to help his mother receive benefits. AT 16. The reasons 6 set forth by the ALJ for the weight accorded to the third party evidence are germane as to each 7 witness and the evidence was properly discounted. 8 C. Treating Physician’s Opinion 9 Plaintiff further contends that the ALJ improperly rejected the opinion of her treating 10 physician, Dr. Palomino. The weight given to medical opinions depends in part on whether they 11 are proffered by treating, examining, or non-examining professionals. Lester v. Chater, 81 F.3d 12 821, 830 (9th Cir. 1995). Ordinarily, more weight is given to the opinion of a treating 13 professional, who has a greater opportunity to know and observe the patient as an individual. Id.; 14 Smolen v. Chater, 80 F.3d 1273, 1285 (9th Cir. 1996). 15 To evaluate whether an ALJ properly rejected a medical opinion, in addition to 16 considering its source, the court considers whether (1) contradictory opinions are in the record, 17 and (2) clinical findings support the opinions. An ALJ may reject an uncontradicted opinion of a 18 treating or examining medical professional only for “clear and convincing” reasons. Lester, 81 19 F.3d at 831. In contrast, a contradicted opinion of a treating or examining professional may be 20 rejected for “specific and legitimate” reasons, that are supported by substantial evidence. Id. at 21 830. While a treating professional’s opinion generally is accorded superior weight, if it is 22 contradicted by a supported examining professional’s opinion (e.g., supported by different 23 independent clinical findings), the ALJ may resolve the conflict. Andrews v. Shalala , 53 F.3d 24 1035, 1041 (9th Cir. 1995) (citing Magallanes v. Bowen, 881 F.2d 747, 751 (9th Cir. 1989)). In 25 any event, the ALJ need not give weight to conclusory opinions supported by minimal clinical 26 findings. Meanel v. Apfel, 172 F.3d 1111, 1113 (9th Cir. 1999) (treating physician’s conclusory, 27 minimally supported opinion rejected); see also Magallanes , 881 F.2d at 751. The opinion of a 28 ///// 8 1 non-examining professional, without other evidence, is insufficient to reject the opinion of a 2 treating or examining professional. Lester, 81 F.3d at 831. Dr. Palomino, who saw plaintiff for treatment in her Worker’s Compensation case, issued 3 4 a final report on June 3, 2010. In that report, Dr. Palomino found on physical examination that 5 plaintiff showed very little tenderness over the shoulder girdle, rotator cuff strength was almost 6 completely intact, and grip strength was normal bilaterally. AT 1176. Dr. Palomino opined that 7 plaintiff had a 0% upper extremity impairment and 0% whole person impairment with respect to 8 her right shoulder. With respect to the cervical spine, Dr. Palomino assessed plaintiff with a 6% 9 impairment of the whole person. AT 1177. In contrast to this opinion, on November 22, 2011,2 10 Dr. Palomino opined that plaintiff could reach overhead with her right arm less than 10% of the 11 time, grasp, turn, and twist with her right hand 25% of the time, and perform fine manipulations 12 with her right fingers only 25% of the time. AT 1875-1881. The ALJ credited only that portion 13 of Dr. Palomino’s opinion that set forth no restrictions in sitting, standing or walking. The ALJ 14 correctly noted that the determination of whether plaintiff is disabled within the meaning of the 15 Social Security Act is an issue reserved to the Commissioner and that an assessment of “total 16 temporary disability” is a term of art within the worker’s compensation context and is not 17 determinative under the Social Security criteria. AT 18. Instead of crediting Dr. Palomino’s 18 restrictive assessment from November 22, 2011, the ALJ instead relied on the opinion of the state 19 agency physicians who had full access to the medical record and opined that plaintiff had only 20 light limitations and that there was no continuous twelve month period of disability. AT 19, 21 1772-1779. Because the state agency opinion is consistent with the medical records and Dr. 22 Palomino’s latter rendered opinion is directly contradicted by his prior opinion, his own findings 23 (AT 1176) and those of Dr. Weiss (AT 1265), there was no error in the weight accorded by the 24 ALJ to Dr. Palomino’s opinion. 25 ///// 26 27 28 2 The records indicate that Dr. Palomino saw plaintiff once during the intervening months (on December 16, 2010) for a referral to a certified massage therapist for treatment of her left shoulder. AT 1189. 9 1 D. Residual Functional Capacity 2 Plaintiff asserts the residual functional capacity does not account for all of the limiting 3 effects of her neck and right shoulder impairments and that the ALJ failed to include mental 4 limitations. Social Security Ruling 96-8p sets forth the policy interpretation of the Commissioner 5 for assessing residual functional capacity. SSR 96-8p. Residual functional capacity is what a 6 person “can still do despite [the individual’s] limitations.” 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1545(a), 416.945(a) 7 (2003); see also Valencia v. Heckler, 751 F.2d 1082, 1085 (9th Cir. 1985) (residual functional 8 capacity reflects current “physical and mental capabilities”). RFC is assessed based on the 9 relevant evidence in the case record, including the medical history, medical source statements, 10 and subjective descriptions and observations made by the claimant, family, neighbors, friends, or 11 other persons. 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1545(a)(1), 404.1545(a)(3). When assessing RFC, the ALJ must 12 consider the claimant’s “ability to meet the physical, mental, sensory, and other requirements of 13 work[.]” 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1545(a)(4). 14 The ALJ assessed plaintiff with the residual functional capacity to perform less than the 15 full range of light work with certain limitations, i.e. plaintiff could never reach over head with the 16 right upper extremity, is never to climb ladders, ropes, and scaffolds, and is to have no exposure 17 to hazards such as moving machinery and unprotected heights. AT 15. Plaintiff contends that 18 plaintiff’s diagnoses of cervical radiculopathy and adhesive capsulitis required a more restrictive 19 residual functional capacity. A diagnosis does not an impairment make. The ALJ fully 20 accounted for all of the limitations which were supported by clinical findings and the opinions of 21 Dr. Weiss and the state agency physicians. 22 Plaintiff also asserts that the residual functional capacity failed to account for her mental 23 impairments. Although plaintiff testified she was depressed, there is no evidence of treatment in 24 the record and the lay witness reports indicated no problems with concentration. AT 50, 229, 25 235. The ALJ properly found that plaintiff’s alleged mental impairment was not severe and that 26 plaintiff had only mild limitations in the functional areas of daily living, social functioning and 27 concentration, persistence and pace. AT 13-14. There was no error in failing to incorporate 28 mental restrictions in the residual functional capacity. 10 1 E. Vocational Expert 2 Finally, plaintiff contends that the hypotheticals posed to the vocational expert were 3 incomplete. Hypothetical questions posed to a vocational expert must set out all the substantial, 4 supported limitations and restrictions of the particular claimant. Magallanes v. Bowen, 881 F.2d 5 747, 756 (9th Cir. 1989). If a hypothetical does not reflect all the claimant’s limitations, the 6 expert’s testimony as to jobs in the national economy the claimant can perform has no evidentiary 7 value. DeLorme v. Sullivan, 924 F.2d 841, 850 (9th Cir. 1991). While the ALJ may pose to the 8 expert a range of hypothetical questions, based on alternate interpretations of the evidence, the 9 hypothetical that ultimately serves as the basis for the ALJ’s determination must be supported by 10 substantial evidence in the record as a whole. Embrey v. Bowen, 849 F.2d 418, 422-23 (9th Cir. 11 1988). 12 Plaintiff contends that the hypothetical relied on by the ALJ did not include all of the 13 limitations assessed by Dr. Palomino. As discussed above, the ALJ properly rejected the extreme 14 limitations set forth by Dr. Palomino in his November, 2011 assessment. The hypothetical as 15 posed by the ALJ included all of the functional limitations supported by substantial evidence in 16 the record. AT 61-63. There was no error in relying on the vocational expert’s response to that 17 hypothetical, which identified several jobs which plaintiff could perform with those restrictions. 18 AT 20-21, 62-63. 19 CONCLUSION 20 For the reasons stated herein, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 21 1. Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 19) is denied; 22 2. The Commissioner’s cross-motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 20) is granted; 23 24 25 and 3. Judgment is entered for the Commissioner. Dated: March 6, 2015 _____________________________________ CAROLYN K. DELANEY UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE 26 27 28 4 taylor1156.ss.2 11
