Martin v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec.

ROBERT HOLMES BELL

On February 3, 2014, Magistrate Judge Hugh W. Brenneman issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") (Dkt. No. 13) recommending that the final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security denying Plaintiff Gregory Martin's claim for disability insurance benefits ("DIB") and supplemental security income benefits ("SSI") be reversed and remanded pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). No objections have been filed, and the deadline for doing so has expired. The Court has reviewed the matter and concludes that the R&R correctly analyzes the issues and makes a sound recommendation. Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge's February 3, 2014, R&R (Dkt. No. 13) is APPROVED and ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security denying Plaintiff Gregory Martin's claim for disability insurance benefits ("DIB") and supplemental security income benefits ("SSI") is REVERSED and REMANDED pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that on remand, the Commissioner should re-evaluate Plaintiff's credibility. As part of this re-evaluation, the ALJ should address Plaintiff's inability to afford treatment and Dr. Septer's treatment of Plaintiff's mental condition after April 2010.
