On remand, the Appeals Council will remand the case to an administrative law 

judge (ALJ) for a new hearing and decision. The Appeals Council will instruct the ALJ 

to reevaluate the medical evidence concerning physical and mental impairments, and 

explain the weight given to the opinion evidence consistent with 20 C.F.R. §§ 

404.1527 and 416.927, and Social Security Rulings (SSR) 96-2p and 96-5p. The 

Appeals Council will also instruct the ALJ to further evaluate whether Plaintiff has the 

residual functional capacity to perform his past relevant work and, if appropriate, 

obtain supplemental vocational expert testimony to assist in determining what jobs 

exist, if any, for Plaintiff given his age, education, vocational factors and residual 

functional capacity. The ALJ will take any further action the ALJ deems necessary to 

develop the record and issue a new decision.

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.
