Richard Welsh v. Carolyn Colvin

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that the ALJ had complied with SSR 00-4p because, in response to extensive questioning by the ALJ regarding inconsistencies, the VE offered evidence of her personal observations of the requirements of the proposed jobs and cited a professional journal
• holding that ALJ’s failure to explicitly consider an applicable Social Security Ruling “had no practical effect on the decision and therefore [was] not a sufficient reason to set aside the ALJ’s decision”
• concluding 330 jobs statewide satisfied the sufficient number of jobs requirement
• finding ALJ may rely on a VE’s experience in job placement or career counseling
• finding no error where the relevant DOT job descriptions required occasional lifting up to ten pounds, but the VE testified based on her experience that those jobs require lifting no more than five pounds (plaintiff’s limit) and that her testimony was consistent with the DOT
• ALJ resolved apparent conflict by extensively questioning the VE, who cited to a professional journal to support her testimony
