From 1998 to 2005, plaintiff worked as a caregiver full time and from 1999 to 2004, she worked part time in real estate. In 2015, plaintiff applied for social security disability benefits claiming she was not able to work due to posttraumatic stress disorder, chronic pulmonary diseases, depression, severe anxiety, asthma and lower lumbar damage. The Commissioner of Social Security denied her application for disability insurance benefits. Plaintiff appealed the decision before an administrative law judge.

Plaintiff contended that the examiner's opinion was not included in determining whether plaintiff has sufficient residual functional capacity.

DEFENDANT'S CONTENTIONS: Defendant denied plaintiff's contentions.

Result

The district court reversed the commissioner's decision granting plaintiff's request for remand for further investigation.
