Kneeland v. Berryhill

by
Plaintiff suffers from physical, cognitive, and psychological impairments. In this appeal, plaintiff challenged the denial of her social security disability benefits. The court concluded that the ALJ legally erred by rejecting an examining physician's opinion without explanation. In this case, the physician opined that plaintiff could not work any job that entailed standing for longer than 30 minutes or walking farther than 50 years. Accordingly, the court vacated and remanded for the ALJ to consider plaintiff's impairments, taking into account the examining physician's opinion. View "Kneeland v. Berryhill" on Justia Law
