Samuels v. Acting Commissioner of Social Security, No. 18-14562 (11th Cir. 2020)
Annotate this CaseThe Eleventh Circuit vacated the district court's order affirming the Commissioner's denial of plaintiff's application for disability insurance benefits. The court held that the ALJ did not have the benefit of the court's decision in Schink v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec., 935 F.3d 1245 (11th Cir. 2019) (per curiam), which may alter the fourth step of the ALJ's disability analysis. Furthermore, the court agreed with plaintiff that the ALJ's hypothetical to the vocational expert did not sufficiently communicate plaintiff's limitations from bipolar disorder.
