Opinion by
President Judge Crumlish, Jr.,Robert D. Marshman appeals a Public School Employes’ Retirement Board (Board) denial of disability retirement benefits. We affirm.
Marshman, a teacher1 for thirty years, allegedly began to experience various physical difficulties in *5431974.2 In 1979, on the advice of his physician,3 Marsh-man stopped working and applied for disability benefits under Section 8504(c)(1) of the Public School Employees’ Retirement Code.4 The doctors who examined Marshman found, after several tests,5 that the alleged physical difficulties did not exist. The hearing examiner, after reviewing the testimony, concluded that Marshman was not entitled to disability benefits.
The only facet of our scope of review, under Section 704 of the Administrative Agency Law,6 that we need to determine is whether the hearing examiner’s decision is supported by substantial evidence. As the finder of fact, the hearing examiner weighs all evidence. The testimony of a physician is not conclusive. The weight of it is for the finder of fact. Chubb v. Allegheny Country Club, 147 Pa. Superior Ct. 146, 24 A.2d 550 (1942). We agree that there was sufficient evidence to support the determination.
Affirmed.
