Upon remand, the Appeals Council will instruct the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) to 

obtain evidence from an appropriate medical expert to clarify the nature, severity and limiting 

effects of Plaintiff’s medically determinable left arm impairments. In addition, the ALJ will 

further consider whether Plaintiff can perform work that exists in significant numbers within the 

national economy, and seek additional vocational expert testimony as necessary; offer Plaintiff 

the opportunity for a hearing; to take further action to complete the administrative record 

resolving the above issues; and issue a new decision.
