___________ PER CURIAM. Archie Welch appeals the district court’s 1 order affirming the denial of disability insurance benefits and supplem ental security income. Following de novo review, see Casey v. Astrue , 503 F.3d 687, 691 (8th Cir. 2007) , we conclude that the decision is supported by substantial ev idence on the record as a whole.-2- Welch, born on July 3, 1962, had worked in the past as a gardener, laundry worker, and housekeeper, and most recently in a factory as a machinist and then as a stacker. He had a grand mal seizure for th e first time in late 2000. In applying for benefits, Welch alleged he could no longer work after March 2001 as a result of a seizure disorder and border line intellectual functioning. An administrative law judge (ALJ) conducted a hearing in June 2005, and thereafter dete rmined that (1) Welch’s seizure disorder and borderline intellectual functioning were severe impairments; (2) the impairments alone or combined did not meet or equal a listed impairment, given the infrequency of his seizures and his le vel of adaptive functioning; (3) Welch’s allegations regarding his limitations werenot fully credible; (4) Welch had the residual functional capacity (RFC) for simp le, repetitive, and routine tasks with no independent multi-tasking, minimal change s in routine, no more than brief and superficial contact with the public, and no work at unprotected heights or around unprotected or dangerous machinery; and (5) consistent with the testimony of the vocational expert, his past relevant work as a housekeeper was not precluded by his RFC. The ALJ thus concluded that Welc h was not disabled w ithin the meaning of the Social Security Act. After the App eals Council denied revi ew, Welch brought this action. The district court granted the Commissioner’s motion for summary judgment, rejecting Welch challenge to the finding that he was not di sabled under Listing 12.05C, 20 C.F.R. Pt. 404, Subpt. P, App. 1, related to mental retardation.

Upon careful review, we conclude that substantial evidence on the record as a whole supported the ALJ’s conclusion that Welch’s impairments did not meet the requirements of Listing 12.05C. See Gonzales v. Barnhart , 465 F.3d 890, 894 (8th Cir. 2006) (claimant bears burden of estab lishing impairment meets or equals listed impairment); Maresh v. Barnhart , 438 F.3d 897, 899-900 (8th Cir. 2006) (to meet Listing 12.05C, claimant must show valid ve rbal, performance, or full scale IQ of 60- 70, manifested before age 22, and physical or other mental impairment imposing additional and significant work-related limitation). In particular, Welch’s past IQ scores ranged from 70 to 83, and the ALJ did not err in finding Welch’s seizure-3- disorder, which was well controlled on me dication, did not impose additional and significant work-related limitation of function. See Schultz v. Astrue , 479 F.3d 979, 983 (8th Cir. 2007) (when impairment is controlled by medication or treatment, it cannot be considered disabling); Clark v. Apfel , 141 F.3d 1253, 1255-56 (8th Cir. 1998) (ALJ may reject IQ scores that are inconsistent with the record, including daily activities and behavior, and non-treating psychologist’s one-time evaluation is not entitled to controlling weight); cf. Maresh , 438 F.3d at 900-01 (claimant’s verbal IQ of 70 and severe personality disorder, mani fested by fighting with other children at young age and current inability to get along with others, met Listing 12.05C regardless whether he c ould perform gainful activity); Keller v. Shalala , 26 F.3d 856, 857-58 (8th Cir. 1994) (claimant’s verbal IQ of 67 and migraine headaches, which ALJ improperly discredited, constituted work-related impairment that was more than slight or minimal).

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
