REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
BRIAN A. TSUCHIDA, Magistrate Judge.
Tammy A. Bunch seeks review of the denial of her for Disabled Widow's Benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act.. Dkt. 3. The parties stipulate the case should be REVERSED and REMANDED for further administrative proceedings pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). Dkt. 22.
Upon remand, the Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") shall hold a de novo hearing where Ms. Bunch may appear, testify, and submit additional evidence and arguments. The ALJ shall consider her carpal tunnel syndrome and its effects; evaluate the medical opinions of record; further evaluate her credibility and residual functional capacity; reassess whether she can perform any past relevant work consistent with SSR 96-8p, SSR 82-62, and SSR 92-61; and if necessary, obtain vocational expert testimony to determine whether she can perform other work. The ALJ shall issue a de novo decision, and those other aspects of the ALJ's prior decision not specifically addressed here are not specifically affirmed.
Because the parties have stipulated that the case be remanded as set forth above, the Court recommends that United States District Judge Richard A. Jones immediately approve this Report and Recommendation and order the case REVERSED and REMANDED for further administrative proceedings. A proposed order accompanies this Report and Recommendation.
