What is the test for overturning a judgment of a district court affirming the denial of disability benefits?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Lewis v. Colvin, No. 13-436-cv (2nd Cir. 2013):
The judgment of a district court affirming the denial of disability benefits will be reversed only if, upon review of the administrative record, we determine that the administrative ruling was based on application of incorrect legal standards, or was not supported by "substantial evidence."2 See Brault v. Soc. Sec. Admin., Comm'r, 683 F.3d 443, 447 (2d Cir. 2012); see also 42 U.S.C. 405(a).
