Goins v. Colvin

Record failed to support ALJ denial of claimant’s application for Social Security disability benefits, where claimant alleged that she could no longer work due to acute pain associated with herniated spinal disk, and where ALJ found that claimant was not credible. ALJ, as well as consulting physicians who found that claimant could perform some work, failed to consider crucial 2010 MRI that contained medical evidence supporting claimant’s complaints of back pain and headaches. Moreover, ALJ failed to consider claimant’s obesity as negative factor with respect to her ability to work and further failed to explain why claimant’s credibility was important factor, where there was no evidence to question genuineness of 2010 MRI, claimant’s obesity or grave spinal condition that was revealed in 2010 MRI.
