Case Summary

**Case Summary: Capatov v. Commissioner of Social Security Administration (Docket Number 2604256)** **Court**: Social Security Administration (SSA) **Docket Number**: 2604256 **Case Overview**: This case involves the appellant, Capatov, challenging the decision of the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration regarding his application for disability benefits. The appeal entails a request for a rehearing following the initial determination that denied the benefits sought by the claimant. **Background**: Capatov submitted an application for Social Security disability benefits, asserting that he was unable to work due to various medical conditions. The application was reviewed by the SSA, which ultimately denied his claim. The basis for the denial included assessments of Capatov’s medical records, his reported limitations, and the capacity to perform past relevant work. **Issues on Appeal**: 1. **Medical Evidence**: Capatov argued that the Commissioner did not fully consider all relevant medical evidence supporting his claim, including reports from treating physicians. 2. **Assessment of Residual Functional Capacity (RFC)**: The appeal raised questions regarding how the SSA assessed Capatov's residual functional capacity, particularly in relation to the limitations posed by his medical conditions. 3. **Credibility Determination**: Capatov contended that the ALJ (Administrative Law Judge) improperly assessed his credibility regarding the severity of his symptoms and functional limitations. **Legal Standards**: The case involves interpretation of the Social Security Act and the criteria for disability benefits. The standard of review requires that the ALJ’s findings are supported by substantial evidence and that proper legal standards were applied. **Current Status**: The case is under review, and the outcome will depend on whether the appellate body finds merit in Capatov's claims regarding procedural errors, misapplication of legal standards, or incorrect evaluations of medical evidence. **Conclusion**: The capatov.commissioner ssa rehearing seeks to address the alleged mishandling of Capatov's application for disability benefits. The decision from the SSA will have significant implications for Capatov's eligibility for benefits and the proper approach by the SSA in similar future cases.
