No. 14-2122
Decision Date: 
July 24, 2015
Federal District: 
E.D. Wisc.
Holding: 
Reversed and remanded
Claimant, who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, endometriosis, major depression, irritable bowel syndrome and fibromyalgia, was entitled to reconsideration of her application for Social Security disability benefits, where ALJ gave incomplete/flawed hypothetical question to vocational expert that failed to include claimant’s mental limitations in areas of concentration, persistence and pace. Both hypothetical question posed to vocational expert and ALJ’s RFC assessment must incorporate all of claimant’s limitations supported by medical record. Fact that hypothetical used phrase that potential job was “free of fast paced production requirements, involving only simple work related decisions” did not require different result.
