Description
Order Ralph Young applied for disability benefits under the Supplemental Security Income Program in March 1987. 42 U.S.C.
§ 1381 et seq.. The administrative law Judge ("ALJ") determined that Young was not disabled because he could perform
a significant number of jobs in the economy. The Appeals Council vacated the decision and remanded for additional findings.
The ALJ conducted a second hearing and found that Young was not disabled for purposes of the SSI program; the ALJ determined
that although Young had severe heart disease, arthritis and alcoholism, Young did not have an impairment or combination of
impairments listed in, or medically equal to one listed listed in the regulations. The Appeals Council denied Young's request
for review, leaving the ALJ determination as the Secretary's final decision. Young filed a complaint in the district court.
The court affirmed the Secretary's final decision, holding that substantial evidence supported the finding that Young was
not disabled. We affirm the judgment of the district court. Young raises two arguments on appeal. First, he argues that the district court erred in determining that substantial evidence
supported the ALJ's findings that Young was not disabled because of his alcoholism and that he could perform light work. Second,
he argues that the ALJ incorrectly found that Young's work as the owner and operator of a freight delivery service constituted
substantial gainful activity.
