How Judge Kewalramani decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Limited daily activities did not undermine claimed limitations when the claimant performed them only with breaks and assistance and the record did not show that they transferred to a work setting.
“with assistance, do not detract from Plaintiff’s credibility as to his overall disability.”
A treating clinician's functional assessment carried more weight where the clinician identified concrete observations supporting the stated limitations.
“Dr. Vu supported those conclusions by noting that Plaintiff displayed”
Procedural preferences
At the final step of benefits review, the court treated evidence suggesting fewer than 11,000 available national jobs as undermining the administrative decision.
“there are fewer than 11,000 jobs nationally”
