Consolidated appeal of denial of petitioners' application for social security benefits
Martinez v. Astrue, 10-1957, concerned a challenge to the district court's affirmance of the Social Security Administration's
denials of petitioners' applications for disability benefits and
supplemental security income benefits. The court held that two of the three cases require reversal as infirmities similar to those found in Spiva are present. However, the third case does not require reversal as the administrative law judge's opinion was thorough and well supported. Related Link:
