How courts have described this case

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

• noting that a remand solely for benefits calculation is appropriate because plaintiffs application had been pending more than six years, and a remand could result in “substantial, additional delay”
• considering that plaintiffs application for benefits had been pending for more than six years a factor in remanding solely for a calculation of benefits
• finding that consultative examiner’s opinion that used the terms “moderate” and “mild”—without additional information— was insufficient to permit ALJ to support ALJ’s RFC determination
• remanding solely for calculation of benefits where, after claimant had proven his disability, Commissioner failed to produce evidence of claimant’s capability of gainful employment
• remanding because the ALJ’s conclusion relied on only one medical opinion, which used “the terms ‘moderate’ and ‘mild,’ without additional information”
• finding error in ALJ’s reliance on a conclusory medical opinion describing claimant’s functional capacity in demonstrating that the claimant could perform certain exertional requirements
