Social Security Disability

The claimant suffered from pelvic outlet obstruction, irritable bowel syndrome, headaches, degenerative disc disease and anxiety.  The district court held that Social Security did not adequately explain the credibility determination and it was not supported by substantial evidence in the record.  The district court also said Social Security erred in giving no weight to the disabling opinion of the treating physician, a gastroenterologist, and great weight to the opinions of the State agency doctors, who had no relevant specialties.

Highland Social Security Disability Lawyer John E. Horn of the law firm of Horn & Kelley, P.C., won in the United States Court of Appeals a new hearing for a client who claim for social security disability benefits was denied.   The case was Murphy v. Colvin, 13-3154, Seventh Cir., July 22, 2014.  The claimant was denied social security disability benefits throughout the entire administrative process and also by the United States District Court.  The district court ruled for the Commissioner in 12 C 3879.  Plaintiff appealed.  The Seventh Circuit reversed July 22, 2014.

The Seventh Circuit held that Social Security did not adequately explain her credibility determination and it was not supported by substantial evidence in the record.  Social Security drew adverse inferences from facts without having the claimant explain them (claimant’s cessation of physical therapy and a vacation she took).  Murphy v. Colvin, Slip opinion at 7-9.

The Seventh Circuit held that Social Security’s RFC determination was not supported by substantial evidence.  No medical evidence in the record contradicted the claimant’s testimony that she could not perform light work.  Murphy, Slip Opinion at 10-14.

The Seventh Circuit finally held that Social Security improperly relied on the grids to deny the claim because there were non-exertional impairments and Social Security did not include in its hypotheticals to the Vocational Expert the limitations it found in denying the claim.  Murphy, slip opinion at 14-17.

H. Elizabeth Kelley and John E. Horn, Tinley Park Social Security Disability Lawyers

John E. Horn of Horn & Kelley, PC, Attorneys at Law, a Tinley Park social security disability lawyer, on June 23, 2014, won in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois a new hearing for a client who suffered from diabetes, neuropathy, depression, anxiety, shortness of breath, pain, and obesity.   The case was Smith v. Colvin, 12 C 5116, N.D. Ill., June 23, 2014.  Social Security failed to consider two pieces of evidence that did not support its assessment of the claimant’s residual physical functional capacity: the opinion of the consultative mental examiner (a Global Assessment of Functioning of 45) and the results of a pulmonary function test.  Social Security’s failure to address the apparent conflict of its conclusion that claimant was not disabled with claimant’s GAF of 45 (which indicates disability) left the Court unsure Social Security had considered all the evidence.  Social Security also erred in not explaining the weight given the opinion of the consultative mental examiner.  These errors were not harmless.  Social Security unquestionably failed to consider the pulmonary function test, which was submitted after the hearing but before the decision, and still had to be considered.

The claimant was denied social security disability benefits throughout the entire administrative process.  Horn said, “It’s unfortunate that decision makers at lower levels did not understand how serious my client’s impairments are.  I’m relieved I was able to win a new hearing for my client.”  Horn is a Tinley Park social security disability lawyer who represents people on social security disability claims at every level in Chicagoland, Northwest Indiana, and nationwide.  Horn & Kelley has offices in Chicago, Tinley Park, and Lagrange, Illinois, as well as Highland, Indiana.  They have represented clients in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin.  Horn & Kelley represent claimants at all levels, from the initial application to the United States Supreme Court.

Horn & Kelley Win New Social Security Disability Hearing in Federal Court for Client with Neck and Shoulder Problems, as well as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

John E. Horn of the law firm of Horn & Kelley, P.C., won a remand in Federal District Court for a new Social Security disability hearing in the case of a claimant with a torn rotator cuff in his shoulder, carpal tunnel syndrome in his hands, and degenerative disc disease in his neck. The claimant was denied benefits throughout the entire Social Security administrative process. Now he will get a new hearing where the evidence in favor of the claim has to be considered. Horn said, “The Social Security Administration acted as if it did not have to consider the evidence that favored allowance of the claim. It did not evaluate the severity of my client’s carpal tunnel syndrome. It misread the physical therapy records about his shoulder. I am proud to help people get a fair shake from the Social Security Administration.” Horn is an attorney who represents individuals at every stage of their Social Security disability claims. “Social Security is just a big insurance company, and like any other insurance company, it only wants to take in premiums and not pay benefits,” says Horn, who has helped thousands of workers get Social Security disability benefits. “No one should apply for Social Security disability without a lawyer.” For additional information, call John E. Horn at 708-614-8833
