Administrative : Social Security Disability – Denial Of Benefits – Hypothetical
Stephanie Maniscalco//August 11, 2017
Where a claimant challenged the denial of her application for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income, the judgment is reversed and remanded because the hypothetical posed to the vocational expert did not include all of the claimant’s limitations and impairments, so the expert’s testimony could not be viewed as substantial evidence that she could perform other work in the national economy.
Judgment is reversed and remanded.
