Allord v. Astrue, 10-2006

Denial of disability benefits

Allord v. Astrue, 10-2006, concerned a challenge to the district court's determination that the record did not support a judicial award of disability benefits in petitioner's application for disability benefits from the Social Security Administration.  In affirming the judgment, the court held that  the district court did not abuse its discretion in remanding petitioner's case to the Social Security Administration for further proceedings instead of remanding with instructions for the Commissioner to calculate and award benefits as the record before the district court did not necessitate a finding that petitioner was disabled as of his date last insured.
