Heading: ALJ Findings

Text: 10 The ALJ found that the medical examinations of Ms. Mastro prior to 1995 did not support her subjective complaints of pain and fatigue. The ALJ noted that Ms. Mastro's history of CFS was based on her own subjective complaints of pain and fatigue and no doctor found a definitive basis for diagnosing her with CFS. From this, the ALJ stated that it is clear that the claimant has no impairment or combination of impairments entitling her to social security disability benefits. (J.A. at 27.) Further, the ALJ reasoned that the objective medical evidence and Ms. Mastro's daily life activities indicated that she could continue to perform past relevant work, particularly management positions. Given these findings, the ALJ denied her disability claim. Additionally, the ALJ found no evidence of a medically determinable mental impairment. 11 As grounds for reversal, Ms. Mastro contends that the ALJ erroneously ignored the opinion of her treating physician and her subjective complaints of chronic fatigue and pain. The Commissioner does not dispute that Ms. Mastro suffers from a severe impairment. Rather, the Commissioner maintains that the ALJ's findings that Ms. Mastro's impairment was not among the listed impairments recognized as disabling and that the impairment did not limit her from engaging in certain past employment, such as real estate management, are supported by substantial evidence and based upon the correct application of law.
