CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:11cv532-MHT (WO) (M.D. Ala. Aug. 7, 2013)

Summary

discussing Winschel and related cases, and concluding that "[w]hile it is possible that the ALJ's RFC limitations of 'work limited to simple, routine, and repetitive tasks; in a work environment free of fast paced production requirements; involving only simple, work related decisions; with few, if any, work place changes,' accounts for plaintiff's moderate difficulties in maintaining concentration, persistence, or pace—deficiencies found by the ALJ to exist—the court simply cannot determine from the ALJ's written decision how she concluded that this is so"
