Description
Roberta Skinner suffers from symptoms related to her diabetes and hypertension. In 2002 she filed an application for Supplemental Security Income ("SSI"), which was denied initially and on reconsideration. Dissatisfied with these determinations, Skinner requested a hearing before an administrative law judge ("ALJ") but indicated that she did not wish to appear in person and asked that a decision be made based on the written record. The ALJ denied benefits, finding that Skinners symptoms did not constitute a severe impairment limiting her ability to perform basic work-related activities. The Social Security Appeals Council denied review, and Skinner filed this action for judicial review in district court. The court granted summary judgment for the Social Security Commissioner ("the Commissioner").
