Horn & Kelley win another Social Security Disability Appeals Council remand!
Horn & Kelley, Attorneys at Law, national leaders in Social Security Disability law, won another Appeals Council remand September 9, 2013. The Administrative Law Judge who denied the claim made a mistake about claimant’s height which had significant implications in the assessment of the effects of claimant’s obesity. The Administrative Law Judge also failed to evaluate the opinion of the consultative examining physician that claimant has some difficulty in prolonged sitting as well as standing, walking, lifting, and carrying due to chronic back pain and obesity. The claim was remanded for a new hearing.
