Heading: Second Administrative Hearing

Text: Buckner testified again at a second administrative hearing on July 21, 2008. He stated that he was no longer living with his girlfriend. A VE also testified in response to hypothetical questions posed by the ALJ and Buckner's attorney. The ALJ asked the VE to consider a hypothetical person of Mr. Buckner's age, education and work history with the limitations described in Dr. Hwang's report, except for the limitations on reaching, handling, and being absent from work four times per month. The VE testified that a person with those limitations could perform sedentary, unskilled work as a credit card clerk or a final assembler, jobs which existed in significant numbers in the national economy. Buckner's attorney asked the VE to consider the same hypothetical person, including all of the limitations noted in Dr. Hwang's report. The VE testified that such a person would not be able to find work.
