United States Eighth Circuit

Medical evidence fully supported a disability finding, and the ALJ's conclusion that claimant's complaints were based on her lack of motivation to work was erroneous; substantial evidence did not support the finding that claimant had the emotional or mental capacity to work in a real world situation; remanded with directions to award benefits.
