Opinion
This is an appeal from a decision of the District Court affirming a determination by the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare that appellant is not entitled to disability benefits under the Social Security Act. 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 405(g), 416(i), and 423. To establish disability under the act, the claimant must demonstrate an “inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity.” The Hearing Examiner found that appellant’s physical impairments did not prevent him from performing non-strenuous work not requiring education for skill and concluded that disability within the Act was not established. The Appeals Council denied review.
After a careful review of the record, we are convinced that the Hearing Examiner applied correct legal standards and that his findings are supported by substantial evidence. Consequently, the judgment appealed from must be and it is affirmed.
