Description
This is an appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina affirming the decision of the Secretary of Health and Human Services denying social security disability benefits to the appellant, Billy English, under the Social Security Disability Benefits Reform Act, 42 U.S.C. § 423. English argues that there was not substantial evidence to support the finding of the administrative law Judge (ALJ) that he was not disabled under the applicable regulations. He also challenges the testimony of a vocational expert at his hearing, arguing that the ALJ propounded an incorrect hypothetical question to the vocational expert and that the vocational experts testimony was grounded on an outdated edition of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles. We affirm the district courts judgment insofar as it found substantial evidence to support the ALJs assessment of Englishs residual functional capacity but, agreeing with Englishs contentions concerning the vocational experts testimony, we reverse and remand for a new determination by the ALJ of Englishs ability to perform jobs in the national economy based on a correct hypothetical question and consideration of the Fourth Edition of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles.
