**Case Summary:**
In the case of Marlin Nelson v. Commissioner of Social Security, the plaintiff, Marlin Nelson, contested the decision made by the Commissioner of Social Security regarding his eligibility for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. The appeal was filed following the unfavorable ruling of an administrative law judge (ALJ), who determined that Nelson did not meet the criteria for disability under the Social Security Act.
**Background:**
Marlin Nelson claimed that he suffered from several physical and mental health conditions that severely limited his ability to work. He submitted medical records and testimonials in support of his claim for benefits, arguing that his impairments rendered him incapable of maintaining gainful employment.
The ALJ reviewed Nelson's medical history, assessment of his residual functional capacity (RFC), and the testimonies of medical professionals. Ultimately, the ALJ found that while Nelson had significant impairments, he retained the ability to perform some forms of work that existed in the national economy, thus denying his application for benefits.
**Legal Issues:**
The main legal issues in this case included:
1. Whether the ALJ properly assessed the credibility of Nelson's testimony regarding his limitations.
2. Whether the ALJ's evaluation of Nelson's RFC was supported by substantial evidence.
3. Whether the ALJ adequately considered the medical opinions provided by physicians in their decision-making process.
**Ruling:**
