Description

Eddie Bridges appeals from the district court's judgment affirming the Health and Human Service Secretary's denial of his claim for a period of disability, disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income. The issue here is whether the Secretary applied the proper legal standards in evaluating Bridges' complaints of pain and other symptoms in determining that Bridges does not suffer from a severe impairment. We affirm. Bridges claims disability as a result of a combination of impairments and related symptomatology. Bridges testified at the administrative hearing that he has shortness of breath, pain in the left side of his body, stomach problems, dizzy spells, and failing memory. The Administrative Law Judge (""ALJ"") found that Bridges has several underlying impairments, including hypertensive cardiovascular disease, angina, mild chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and status post an excision of an adenomatous polyp of the descending colon. Based on the totality of the evidence, however, the ALJ concluded that Bridges does not have a severe impairment meeting the durational requirement of the Social Security Act and is not entitled to disability benefits. This conclusion became the final decision of the Secretary on June 6, 1983. On the basis of the magistrate's report and recommendation, and over objections filed by the claimant, the district court dismissed the action on the merits.
