• remanding because ALJ failed to consider predecessor to Listing 11.02 in evaluating the claimant’s migraines
• discussing an example published in POMS DI 24505.015, which is no longer listed in the SSA’s POMS, that compared migraines as medically equivalent to former Listing 11.03
• discussing an example published in POMS DI 24505.015, which is no longer listed in the SSA's POMS, that compared migraines as medically equivalent to former Listing 11.03
• directing ALJ to consider the need for absences due to migraine headaches on remand
• the ALJ’s failure to consider the relevant listing meant “there was no ‘choice’ and, therefore, no ‘zone’ such that remand was necessary with directions that the ALJ consider whether claimant’s migraines met or equaled the listing
• reversing for inadequate Listings discussion, failure to discuss equivalence
