The ALJ recognized that Ball's nonexertional impairments were severe and ruled accordingly. Although the onset date of the disability is not to Ball's liking, the ALJ scrupulously examined the record and differentiated a time when Ball truly could not find or obtain employment. His determination was not arbitrary but rather the result of careful analysis of the record and Ball's circumstances. Given the presumption that six-month employment is considered a successful work attempt and the fact that Ball worked longer than six months on several occasions after the alleged onset date, the Court finds that the ALJ's determination of the date of onset is supported by substantial evidence. The decision of the ALJ is affirmed.
Judgment is entered accordingly.
