Description

Hattie Dixon received a belated 50th birthday present on May 10, 1995. On that date, the Commissioner of Social Security determined, on Dixon's application, that she was "disabled" as of her 50th birthday (February 27, 1995) because then her age, combined with her serious medical condition, limited education, absence of transferable work skills, and ability to perform nothing more than sedentary work, earned her supplemental security income benefits under a medical-vocational guideline. Prior to turning 50, Dixon's age was not a recognizable factor in deciding whether she was entitled to benefits, and Dixon has been trying to get those benefits since 1990 when she stopped working. This case focuses, then, on a narrow question: Does substantial evidence support the Commissioner's conclusion that she was not disabled, as that term is defined by law, between 1990 and the day she turned 50 in 1995.
