Joyce M. JOHNS, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Otis R. BOWEN, Secretary of Health and Human Services, Defendant-Appellee

Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

Decided July 14, 1987No. 86-3106PublishedCited by 49 opinions

1Per curiam

Joyce M. Johns appeals from the district court’s judgment affirming the determination of the Secretary that she is not entitled to social security disability insurance benefits because of her ability to perform sedentary work. In making this determination, the Administrative Law Judge (AU), whose findings were adopted by the Secretary, found Johns’ complaints of pain not to be credible. Because the AU failed to use the proper standards for determining whether Johns’ pain is disabling, we vacate that part of the decision and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
