Description

Order Belinda Ross appeals the decision of the district court affirming the decision of the Secretary of Health and Human Services denying her claim for disability benefits under 42 U.S.C. § 423(d). We affirm. The administrative law Judge (""ALJ"") found that, while Ross's back injury precluded her from performing the ""medium"" level work she used to do as a fast-food cook and construction worker, she still had the residual functional capacity (""RFC"") to perform the full range of light and sedentary work and therefore was still capable of performing a significant number of jobs in the economy. This finding meant that Ross was ineligible for benefits. See also Stephens v. Heckler, 766 F.2d 284, 285 (7th Cir. 1985) (a person with a partial disability is ""not disabled"" under the Social Security Act).
