ALJ determined that White had the residual functional capacity to do her past
relevant work. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo,
Molina v. Astrue, 674 F.3d 1104, 1110 (9th Cir. 2012), and we affirm.
White contends that the ALJ erred in finding that White’s testimony
regarding her symptoms was not credible. The ALJ provided specific, clear, and
convincing reasons for the credibility assessment, including inconsistencies
between White’s testimony regarding her limitations and the medical opinions and
record. See Carmickle v. Comm’r, Soc. Sec. Admin., 533 F.3d 1155, 1161 (9th Cir.
2008) (“Contradiction with the medical record is a sufficient basis for rejecting the
claimant’s subjective testimony.”).
Accordingly, substantial evidence supports the ALJ’s determination that
White was not disabled within the meaning of the Social Security Act.
AFFIRMED.
