Scrogham v. Colvin

Record failed to support ALJ’s denial of claimant’s application for Social Security disability benefits arising out of claimant’s back condition, as well as his hypertension, arthritis and morbid obesity, where ALJ found claimant less than credible and failed to give significant weight to opinions of treating physicians. Remand was required where ALJ failed to give reason why she failed to give weight to opinions of several treating physicians who supported claimant's application for disability benefits and only selectively looked at portions of consulting physician’s report to determine that claimant was capable of certain work. ALJ further failed to consider nature of claimant’s treatment, which might have explained any inconsistencies in claimant’s alleged inability to perform physical tasks.
