What is the test for determining whether a probationary period is relevant to an appeal from a denial of disability benefits?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Sczepanski v. Saul, 946 F.3d 152 (2nd Cir. 2020):

"When deciding an appeal from a denial of disability benefits, we focus on the administrative ruling rather than the district courts opinion." Moran v. Astrue , 569 F.3d 108, 112 (2d Cir. 2009).4 "On appeal, we conduct a plenary review of the administrative record to determine if there is substantial evidence, considering the record as a whole, to support the Commissioners decision and if the correct legal standards have been applied." Id. "Substantial evidence means more than a mere scintilla. It means such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion." Id.
