Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[l]ike any factual issue, a finding regarding the appropriate age category in which to place a claimant must be supported by substantial evidence”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“According to the regulatory description of the age factor, the important difference between those of advanced age and those closely approaching advanced age is that the age of persons in the former category “significantly affects a person’s ability to do substantial gainful activity,” while the age of those in the latter category merely “seriously a£fect[s their] ability to adjust to a significant number of jobs in the national economy.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“matrices of the four factors identified by Congress — physical ability, age, education, and work experience — and set forth rules that identify whether jobs requiring specific combinations of these factors exist in significant numbers in the national economy. The grids thus may provide a shortcut in certain circumstances to determining whether a claimant can perform other work by obviating the need for a vocational expert’s testimony.”
