Willie Curvin 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.

• holding that an ALJ is not required to repeat his discussion of impairments, the objective medical evidence, and credibility at both steps three and five
• recognizing that ALJ’s finding that plaintiff had at least one severe impairment represents “as favorable a determination as can be made” at step two
• holding that an ALJ’s opinion must be read as a whole such that analysis in one step is applicable throughout, as requiring otherwise would result in needless repetition
• holding that an ALJ’s brief step three analysis satisfies the duty to articulate medical equivalence when the ALJ’s reasoning and evaluation of the medical evidence can be meaningfully reviewed from the decision as a whole
• holding that an ALJ’s adverse credibility determination was not patently wrong where the claimant’s testimony regarding her alleged disabling symptoms was inconsistent with other evidence that showed her impairments did not prevent her from working
• explaining that RFC discussion provided necessary detail to review step three determination; not discounted simply because it appeared elsewhere in decision
