Hurter claimed that her medical conditions prevented her from working and that she met the necessary criteria for disability benefits.
**Facts:**
- Hurter applied for SSDI benefits, citing various physical and mental health issues that impaired her ability to perform substantial gainful activity.
- The Social Security Administration (SSA) initially denied her claim, stating that she did not meet the criteria for disability based on the medical evidence presented.
- Following the denial, Hurter pursued an administrative hearing where she argued her case, but the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) upheld the initial decision, leading to the current appeal.
**Issues:**
The primary issue in this case was whether the ALJ’s decision to deny Hurter's application for disability benefits was supported by substantial evidence and whether proper legal standards were applied in evaluating her claim.
**Ruling:**
The district court reviewed the ALJ's findings and determined whether they were grounded in substantial evidence. The court also examined whether the ALJ adequately considered Hurter's medical history, subjective complaints of pain, and the impact of her conditions on her daily life and ability to work.
**Outcome:**
[Insert Outcome - e.g., the court affirmed the ALJ's decision, reversed the decision and remanded for further proceedings, or any other ruling.]
**Conclusion:**
The case of Michelle Hurter v. Nancy Berryhill highlights the complexities involved in social security disability claims, particularly in the evaluation of medical evidence and personal testimony regarding disability.
