Schwartz v. Halter

How courts have described this case

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

• remanding where ALJ failed to properly explain why he refused to give controlling weight to treating source opinion
• “The ALJ is therefore not required to accept the findings of agency medical or psychological consultant as to whether an individual’s impairment is equivalent in severity to any listed impairment.”
• ALJ erred in denying attorney’s request for a consultative psychological examination where claimant’s school records reflecting poor performance “produced sufficient evidence to put the ALJ on notice that he may have low intelligence”
• “[A] physician or psychologist designated by the Commissioner must give an opinion, based on the evidence, on the issue of equivalence; such opinion must be received into the record as expert opinion evidence; and the ALJ must give it appropriate weight.”
