Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Social Security
Record failed to contain sufficient evidence to support ALJ’s denial of claimant’s application for Disability Insurance Benefits based on impairments related to her stroke. While ALJ found that claimant could perform full range of light, unskilled work, remand was required since ALJ failed to adequately explain why claimant was not credible, and since ALJ failed to question claimant as to why she failed to seek medical treatment or fully comply with prescribed treatment. Moreover, ALJ improperly overlooked claimant’s favorable evidence when making RFC determination, which otherwise was not supported by substantial evidence. ALJ also posed inadequate hypothetical questions to vocational expert.
