Reimer; U.S. v.

Facts

The claimant, Reimer, applied for disability benefits, asserting that he was unable to work due to various medical conditions. The Social Security Administration denied his claim, citing a lack of substantial evidence to support his claims of disability. Reimer contended that his medical records and subjective symptoms warranted a different conclusion, but the administrative law judge found the medical opinions unpersuasive and the treatment records insufficient to establish a marked limitation in his ability to work.
