Description

Per Curiam: Calvin Carter appeals the denial of his claim for Social Security disability benefits pursuant to 42 U.S.C. Â§Â§ 401-433 (1988). Carter worked for over twenty-five years selling farm equipment parts in an implement dealership in Minnesota. In 1986 he suffered a heart attack and underwent double artery by-pass surgery. After surgery, he could no longer perform the heavy lifting required at his past job. Nevertheless, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) found that Carter could return to his past job as generally performed in the national economy. The ALJ based this conclusion on the testimony of a vocational expert, who stated that Carter's job fit the category ""salesperson/parts"" as described in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles published by the Department of Labor. The dictionary describes this work as ""light"", and the ALJ determined Carter could perform ""light"" work. The Appeals Council declined to review the ALJ's decision, and the district court upheld the Secretary's final determination that Carter was not disabled.
