C.F.R. §§ 416.920(d), 416.925, and 416.926. The Appeals Council will instruct the ALJ to reassess the 

credibility of Plaintiff’s subjective complaints consistent with 20 C.F.R. § 416.929 and Social Security

consistent with 20 C.F.R. § 416.913(d), 416.929(c)(3), 416.945(a)(3), and SSR 06-3p. Finally, the

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

favor of Plaintiff, and against Defendant, Commissioner of Social Security, reversing the final decision 

of the Commissioner.
