United States Seventh Circuit

ALJ's denial of claimant's application for Disability Insurance Benefits is vacated and remanded to a different ALJ where: 1) the ALJ's RFC determination is unsupported by substantial evidence as he relied on an unsigned medical report that should have been excluded from the record; 2) ALJ failed to consider an entire line of evidence of claimant's impairments; and 3) ALJ failed to support his conclusion that claimant's testimony was not credible.
