- Barnes challenged the ALJ's decision, arguing that the evaluation of his medical impairments was improper and that substantial evidence did not support the ALJ's findings.
**Issues:**

2. Did the ALJ properly evaluate Barnes’ medical records and testimony?

The court analyzed the medical records, vocational expert testimony, and any other relevant factors that influenced the ALJ's decision.
**Outcome:**
- The court either upheld the ALJ’s decision, affirming that substantial evidence supported the denial of benefits, or reversed the decision, determining that the ALJ failed to adequately consider crucial aspects of Barnes’ medical condition.

**Conclusion:**
The case highlights the legal hurdles individuals face when contesting SSA decisions regarding disability benefits. The outcome not only impacts Jeffery Barnes' access to benefits but also reinforces the standards for judicial review of administrative decisions in disability cases.
