Description
COFFEY, Circuit Judge. Kelcie Herron appeals from the district court order affirming the denial of disability benefits by
the Secretary of Health and Human Services ("the Secretary"). Herron applied for benefits in 1987 and was denied both initially
and upon reconsideration. After a hearing, the administrative law Judge ("ALJ") also denied benefits. On review, the Appeals
Council remanded the case to the ALJ to discuss the credibility of Herron's complaints of pain and to consider the effect
of that pain on his ability to function. In addition, the ALJ was to obtain evidence from a vocational expert ("VE") regarding
the types and number of jobs available in the national economy that Herron could perform. Upon rehearing, the ALJ again denied
Herron's application, concluding that despite certain limitations on Herron's ability to work, there were significant jobs
in the national economy that he could perform. Herron contests that Conclusion. BACKGROUND
