Description

David Gory appeals the denial of his claim for Social Security disability benefits. Gory, 41 years old at the time of the hearing, had eight years of formal education but is functionally illiterate. He was employed as a plasterer before the onset of his disability. That disability arises primarily from back and leg problems. The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), whose decision was adopted by the Secretary, found that Gory was unable to return to his past job but that he was able to do sedentary work. Applying Rule 201.23 of Table 1, 20 CFR 404, Subpart P, Appendix 2, the ALJ (as did the district court) concluded that Gory was not disabled. We affirm.
