“the administrative law judge found that ... there was no evidence of a disabling psychological problem prior to age 18, other than claimant’s own testimony with respect to the latter, which was insufficient to meet her burden of proving disability under the Act. We conclude that these findings were supported by substantial evidence and that the administrative law judge’s legal conclusion based on these findings was correct.”

There must be a medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve months or be expected to result in the death of the claimant; and 2.
