Facts

Plaintiff Belia T. was born in 1955 and has past relevant work experience as a home attendant. In 2016, plaintiff filed applications for a period of disability, Disability Insurance Benefits, and Supplemental Security Income, alleging an inability to work since March 2013. Plaintiff's applications were denied. An Administrative Law Judge held that plaintiff was not under a disability from March 2013 through February 2019. The Appeals Council affirmed. Plaintiff filed an action seeking review of the Commissioner's denial of her applications for a period of disability, DIB, and SSI payments.

PLAINTIFF'S CONTENTIONS: Plaintiff contended the ALJ erred in evaluating the medical evidence and opinions and in determining plaintiff's residual functional capacity by failing to give proper weight to evidence from the treating physician. Plaintiff contended the ALJ erred in determining plaintiff's severe impairments by basing his findings on the fact there were no imaging findings in the record regarding the severe upper extremities. Plaintiff contended the ALJ erred by evaluating plaintiff's subjective symptom testimony because the record did not show mild findings and failed to identify plaintiff's limited daily activities.

DEFENDANT'S CONTENTIONS: Defendant denied all of the contentions.

Result

Plaintiff's request for remand was granted and the decision of the Commissioner was reversed.
