Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Social Security
Record failed to contain sufficient evidence to support ALJ’s denial of claimant’s application for Social Security disability benefits, where claimant asserted that she suffered from chronic migraine headaches, as well as other conditions associated with her exceptional obesity that prevented her from working. Although ALJ found that claimant suffered from severe combination of impairments but could still perform certain sedentary work, Ct. found that ALJ failed to sufficiently account for her chronic migraine headaches with respect to her ability to do any sedentary work. Ct. also observed that ALJ misconstrued evidence regarding frequency and severity of claimant’s migraine headaches.
