Case Summary
**Case Summary: Lisa Healy v. Michael Astrue**
**Docket Number:** 7848265
**Court:** [Insert Court Name, e.g., United States District Court]
**Date:** [Insert Date of Filing or Recent Update]
**Parties Involved:**
- **Plaintiff:** Lisa Healy, an individual seeking disability benefits.
- **Defendant:** Michael Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security (or relevant title), representing the interests of the Social Security Administration.
**Background:**
Lisa Healy filed a claim for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits after alleging that she was unable to work due to a severe medical condition. Following an initial denial of her application by the Social Security Administration, Healy appealed the decision. After a hearing, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) also denied her claim.
Healy contended that the ALJ's decision was not supported by substantial evidence, claiming that her impairments significantly limited her ability to perform basic work-related activities. She argued that the ALJ failed to properly evaluate medical records, including those from her treating physicians, and did not give adequate weight to her subjective symptoms.
**Issues:**
1. Whether the ALJ erred in their assessment of Healy's medical condition and associated limitations.
2. Whether the ALJ appropriately evaluated the credibility of Healy's subjective complaints regarding her pain and limitations.
3. Whether the decision was supported by substantial evidence in the administrative record.
**Ruling:**
The case summary does not include the court's final ruling or opinion. Depending on the outcome, the court could uphold the ALJ’s decision, reverse it, or remand the case for further proceedings.
**Significance:**
This case underscores the importance of a thorough evaluation of disability claims and the role of medical evidence in such determinations. It highlights the challenges faced by claimants in proving their eligibility for benefits through the Social Security Administration.
**Next Steps:**
If the court ruled in favor of Lisa Healy, the case may lead to the awarding of SSDI benefits. Conversely, if the ruling upheld the ALJ's decision, Healy may seek further appeal to a higher court.
