ENTRY REVIEWING THE COMMISSIONER'S DECISION - Plaintiff Calvin Yeakey applied for disability insurance benefits from the Social Security Administration ("SSA") on January 4, 2013, alleging an onset date of December 31, 2002. [Filing No. 11 -6 at 2.] His application was initially denied on February 5, 2013, [Filing No. 11 -4 at 2], and upon reconsideration on March 12, 2013, [Filing No. 11 -4 at 8]. Administrative Law Judge Blanca B. de la Torre (the "ALJ") held a hearing on October 22, 2014, [Filing No. 11 -2 at 65-96], and held a supplemental hearing on July 6, 2015, [Filing No. 11 -2 at 38-62]. The ALJ issued a decision on July 22, 2015, concluding that Mr. Yeakey was not entitled to receive disabili ty insurance benefits. [Filing No. 11 -2 at 12.] The Appeals Council denied review on January 13, 2017. [Filing No. 11 -2 at 2-7.] On February 21, 2017, Mr. Yeakey timely filed this civil action, asking the Court to review the denial of benefits pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) and 42 U.S.C. § 1383(c). [Filing No. 1 .] "The standard for disability claims under the Social Security Act is stringent." Williams-Overstreet v. Astrue, 364 F. App'x 271, 274 (7th Cir. 2010 ). "Even claimants with substantial impairments are not necessarily entitled to benefits, which are paid for by taxes, including taxes paid by those who work despite serious physical or mental impairments and for whom working is difficult and painful." Id. at 274. Taken together, the Court can find no legal basis presented by Mr. Yeakey to reverse the ALJ's decision that he was not disabled during the relevant time period. Therefore, the decision below is AFFIRMED. Final judgment shall issue accordingly. (See Entry). Signed by Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson on 11/20/2017.(APD)
