Salmond v. Berryhill

The Fifth Circuit reversed the denial of social security benefits for plaintiff, a former physician and army veteran, who was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and bipolar disorder. The court held that the ALJ's decision was not supported by substantial evidence where the ALJ erred in finding for step two of the five-step approach that plaintiff's impairments were not severe. Accordingly, the court remanded for further consideration. View "Salmond v. Berryhill" on Justia Law
