action pursuant to section 205(g) of the Social Security Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. section 

405(g), sentence four. 

On remand, the Commissioner will conduct any necessary further proceedings and issue 

a new decision with evidentiary support for the findings. If the ALJ finds the claimant is entitled 

to a period of disability, the onset date must be supported by the evidence and it must be clear in 

the decision why the evidence warrants different disability conclusions for different periods of 

time. 

The parties further request that the Clerk of the Court be directed to enter a final 

judgment in favor of Plaintiff, and against Defendant, reversing the final decision of the 

Commissioner.
