7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Ashley Gerstner v. Nancy A. Berryhill
Case No.: 16-4007
Officials: KANNE, ROVNER, and SYKES, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Disability Insurance Benefits – Expert Testimony
Ashley Gerstner challenges the denial of her application for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income. An administrative law judge found that she was severely impaired by anxiety, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, depression, and fibromyalgia, and that these impairments were not disabling. Gerstner contends that the ALJ erred in assigning too little weight to her treating psychiatrist’s opinions and in discrediting her complaints of fibromyalgia pain. We vacate the judgment and remand.
