How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that ALJ was obligated to resolve “the discrepancy between the DOT’s description of the aptitudes required to perform the four jobs supplied by [the VE] and the [claimant]’s intelligence testing scores, which indicated that she could perform none of those jobs”
  • observing that a VE testifying as to whether a person with specific IQ scores can perform certain jobs “is no different than” a VE “testifying that a person limited to simple tasks can or cannot perform certain jobs”
  • remand not required when it “will amount to no more than an empty exercise because . . . application of the correct legal standard could lead to only one conclusion”
