PER CURIAM:

Rebecca J. McMahan appeals the magistrate judge’s order and judgment affirming the Commissioner’s denial of supplemental disability insurance benefits for her minor son.[*] We must uphold the decision to deny benefits if the decision is supported by substantial evidence and the correct law was applied. See 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) (2000); Craig v. Chater, 76 F.3d 585, 589 (4th Cir. 1996). We have thoroughly reviewed the administrative record and the parties’ briefs and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the magistrate judge. See McMahan v. Barnhart, No. 1:04-cv-00216 (W.D.N.C. Apr. 17, 2006). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and

legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
