U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-2619
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Murphy, Circuit Judge, and Perry,
District Judge]
Civil case - Social Security. Failure to mention Social Security Rule
96-9p governing situations where the claimant could perform less than the
full range of sedentary work was an arguable deficiency of opinion writing
by the ALJ but the ALJ properly consulted the VE and the analysis
performed complied with the Rule; when the ALJ poses a hypothetical that
accurately reflects his RFC finding, questions the VE about any apparent
inconsistencies within the relevant DOT job descriptions, and explains the
decision to credit the VE's testimony, the ALJ has complied with relevant
Social Security Ruling (00-4p), and the decision is reviewed under the
deferential substantial evidence standard; the ALJ did not err in finding
there were a significant number of jobs claimant could perform.
