How courts have described this case

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

• holding that failure to consider evidence about whether the claimant had a disability before the insurance cutoff date because the evidence postdated that date was legal error
• finding that it was legal error if the ALJ did not consider medical evidence because it postdated the date last insured
• remanding in part because the ALJ erred by failing to provide reasons for rejecting a treating physician’s opinions
• finding remand appropriate “[b]ecause the appeals court does not reweigh the evidence in social security cases”
• remanding for the fifth time “[b]ecause the appeals court does not reweigh the evidence in social security cases”
• determining absence of conclusive medical evidence cannot meet step five burden even if plaintiff found not credible because reliance on paucity of medical evidence shifts burden back to plaintiff
