“Our task in reviewing the Board’s order is to decide whether the Board correctly concluded that the ALJ’s decision was supported by substantial evidence and not contrary to law. Substantial evidence is such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion. However, in deciding whether substantial evidence exists to support the ALJ’s decision, the court cannot reweigh the evidence, but may only inquire into the existence of evidence to support the trier of fact.”
