| Albors V. Sec'y HHS Transferable Skills. Managerial skills have universal applicability (across industry lines); transfer can therefore be accomplished with very little vocational adjustment, even in an individual of advanced age. Pain rejected as disabling because non-examining physician took pain into account in determining RFC, and claimant takes only aspirin. | 1/1/1986 | ||
| Pineault V. Sec'y HHS Transferable Skills. In determining whether a claimant of advanced age (55 and older) is able to transfer skills to sedentary work, must first show that skills are highly marketable. | 1/1/1988 | ||
| Vasquez V. Sec'y HHS Transferable Skills. Grids. Court remanded where ALJ relied on Grid rule requiring transferrable skills but failed to find explicitly (or to indicate the basis for his implicit finding) that 55-year old claimant's skills were transferable. The claimant has the burden of showing disability serious enough to prevent him from working at his former jobs. The burden then shifts to the Secretary to show the existence of other jobs in the national economy that the claimant can nonetheless perform. | 1/1/1982 | ||
