I lost my appeal in front of the Judge. Can I win an appeal?

There is hope. Below is a list of the main reasons why an appeal is remanded back to the Judge due to error:
| Percent of All Cited Reasons | FY 2024 |
|---|---|
| 11.2 | Inadequate Rationale for Symptom Evaluation Finding |
| 11.0 | Inadequate Articulation of Supportability of Medical Source Opinion(s) |
| 9.1 | Inadequate Articulation of Consistency of Medical Source Opinion(s) |
| 7.2 | VE and DOT Not Reconciled (e.g., sit/stand limitations , time off task, etc.) |
| 5.5 | Found Persuasive Without Adequate Articulation |
| 4.8 | RFC - Mental Limitations Inadequately Evaluated |
| 3.3 | Inadequate Articulation of Supportability of Prior Administrative Medical Findings |
| 2.4 | Medical Source Opinion(s) Not Identified or Discussed |
| 2.3 | Limitations not Supported by Evidence in the Record (SSR 96-8p) |
| 2.0 | Incomplete / Inaccurate Record - Record Inadequately Developed |
