Case Summary

Nancy Berryhill** **Docket Number:** 6062366 **Court:** United States District Court **Date:** [Specific date not available; please refer to the case for precise date.] **Overview:** Vivian Trevizo filed a suit against Nancy Berryhill, the former Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA), challenging the denial of her application for Social Security disability benefits. Trevizo argued that the decision made by the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) was not supported by substantial evidence and did not properly consider the full extent of her disabilities. **Facts:** - Vivian Trevizo applied for Social Security disability benefits, claiming an inability to work due to various medical issues. - Her application was initially denied, prompting her to seek a hearing before an ALJ. - The ALJ reviewed her medical records and hearing testimony but ultimately ruled against her, concluding that Trevizo could perform a range of light work. **Issues:** - The primary issue was whether the ALJ properly evaluated Trevizo's impairments and adequately considered her subjective complaints regarding pain and limitations. - Another significant point of contention was the evaluation of the medical evidence, including opinions from her treating physicians. **Ruling:** The court’s ruling focused on whether the ALJ's decision was supported by substantial evidence and consistent with established legal standards for evaluating disability claims. The court reviewed the procedural history, including the steps taken by the SSA and evidence presented during the hearing. **Outcome:** [Details on the outcome of the case, whether the court upheld the decision, remanded it for further consideration, or reversed the denial of benefits. Specific findings or instructions for what the SSA was required to do would be included here.] **Conclusion:** The case of Vivian Trevizo v. Nancy Berryhill underscores the complexities involved in Social Security disability determinations and the necessity for ALJs to thoroughly assess all factors, including subjective allegations of disability and the weight given to medical opinions.
