Facts

PLAINTIFF'S CONTENTIONS:
Plaintiff contended that the administrative law judge's RFC determination was based on legal error and insubstantial evidence. Specifically, she questioned the judge's rejection of one doctor's opinion in favor of another doctor where the former's opinion was based on a more complete medical record and the reasons stated for rejecting his opinion were inadequate.
Result
The court reversed the Commissioner's decision to deny benefits and remanded to the ALJ.
