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 insurance and SSI based on claimant’s back condition, even though ALJ found that claimant’s statements about nature and extent of her pain symptoms were not credible. Remand was required where: (1) ALJ did not inquire more deeply about claimant’s limited treatment history that, according to ALJ, failed to provide quantifiable test results to support her claims of back pain; and (2) ALJ misstated record regarding number of hours and amount of weight that claimant could work/lift during typical day. Moreover, claimants account of her pain was not so contradicted by medical evidence so as to be incredible.
