  • ALJ need only “minimally articulate his or her justification for rejecting or accepting specific evidence of a disability.”
  • “To determine if a claimant is capable of performing his or her past relevant work, an ALJ must compare the demands of the claimant’s past occupation with his or her present capacity.”
  • “Although the ALJ could have requested an updated opinion from a medical [expert] on the question of medical equivalency . . . we cannot say that the uncontradicted evidence in the record required him to do so.”
