7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Alejandro Moreno v. Nancy Berryhill

Case No.: 17-1954

Officials: BAUER, RIPPLE, and SYKES, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Supplemental Security Income and Disability Insurance Benefits

Alejandro Moreno appeals the order of the district court upholding the Social Security Administration’s denial of his applications for Supplemental Security Income and Disability Insurance Benefits. Mr. Moreno contends that, among other shortcomings in the Administrative Law Judge’s (“ALJ”) determination, he improperly relied on an outdated mental-health assessment and failed to incorporate all of Mr. Moreno’s limitations when posing the hypothetical to the vocational expert. We agree that the record contains new and significant evidence that could have affected Mr. Moreno’s mental-health assessment. We also agree that the ALJ’s hypothetical to the vocational expert failed to include Mr. Moreno’s limitations with respect to concentration, persistence, and pace. Accordingly, we remand the matter to the agency for further proceedings.
