   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  06-3434
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Ft. Dodge   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Chief Judge Loken and Riley,
   Circuit Judges]
   Civil Case - social security. ALJ failed to properly develop the record by
   resolving ambiguity in treating physician's opinions, in ascertaining what
   physician meant by "need to be very careful" about claimant's latex
   allergy, and in assessing the functional limitations, and erred in
   improperly relying on nontreating physician's opinions and in failing to
   address need to shift positions. Thus, decision to deny benefits is
   reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
