1

We have carefully reviewed the record and claimant's brief and find none of claimant's arguments meritorious. Vocational testimony was not required. The ALJ gave valid reasons, based on a fair reading of the record, for discounting claimant's subjective complaints and concluding claimant retained the capacity to perform one of his former types of jobs as a personal driver/chauffeur.

Affirmed.
