As explained in the Proposed Findings and Recommended Disposition, the

Administrative Law Judge found that Plaintiff was disabled as of September 30, 2012 but that

medical improvement occurred as of October 1, 2013, such that Plaintiff’s impairments were no

longer disabling. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s disability status for the period September 30, 2012

through October 1, 2013 is not at issue.
