GOVERNMENT BENEFITS, HEALTH LAW

Rogers v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec., No. 05-4369
Denial of social security disability benefits to a claimant alleging she suffers from pain and other symptoms associated with fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis is reversed where: 1) the reasons given for discounting the opinions of claimant's treating physicians and for finding her subjective complaints not credible were insufficient to constitute substantial evidence; and 2) consequently, a residual functional capacity assessment (RFC) and its use in concluding claimant could return to her past relevant work were also flawed.
