Eighth Circuit -- Steve McCoy v. Michael J. Astrue

Steve McCoy v. Michael J. Astrue

 No error in ALJ determination that claimant's symptoms did not match disease profile, as substantial evidence supported ALJ finding.

While an ALJ does have a duty to develop the record, this duty is not never-ending and an ALJ is not required to disprove every possible impairment.

ALJ's consideration of non-exertional limitations not under the grids was kosher.

Balance of ALJ's findings justified by substantial evidence.
