Bobby Dyer v. Jo Anne B. Barnhart

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that substantial evidence is met when the record supports more than a mere scintilla, but less than preponderance
• recognizing that an ALJ need not discuss every piece of evidence so long as the ALJ considered the claimant’s medical condition as a whole
• explaining this Court must affirm under the substantial evidence test even if the proof preponderates against the Commissioner’s decision
• “If the Commissioner’s decision is supported by substantial evidence, this Court must affirm, even if the proof preponderates against it.” (citation omitted)
• “If a claimant testifies as to his subjective complaints of disabling pain and other symptoms, as Dyer did here, the ALJ must clearly ‘articulate explicit and adequate reasons’ for discrediting the claimant’s allegations of completely disabling symptoms.”
• “[T]here is no rigid requirement that the ALJ specifically refer to every piece of evidence in his decision” as long as the decision is not “a broad rejection” that casts doubt on whether the ALJ considered the claimant’s “medical condition as a whole.”
