• recognizing that remand may be required “if the ALJ based the decision on serious factual mistakes or omissions”
• holding that it was “legal error” for the ALJ not to consider the reasons for a claimant’s decision not to have surgery
• holding that conservative or lack of treatment cannot support a subjective symptom finding unless the ALJ \explore[s] the claimant's explanations as to lack of medical care\
• recognizing that an examining source generally receives more weight than a non-examining source
• holding similarly and emphasizing the ALJ’s failure to address factors such as ability to pay
• noting that “an ALJ is not required to credit the agency’s examining physician in the face of . . . other compelling evidence”
