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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This statement [“the monies she has received and might receive with respect to the Workers’ Compensation claim may possibly have given claimant less motivation to return to the work force”] was improper and undercuts the objectivity of the ALJ’s opinion. Congress drafted the social security statutes with the expectation that claimants could receive both workers’ compensation and disability benefits for on-the-job injuries. 42 U.S.C. § 424a; Richardson v. Belcher, 404 U.S. 78, 82-83 , 92 S.Ct. 254 , 30 L.Ed.2d 231 (1971). Thus, [claimant’s] receipt of such benefits has no bearing on her credibility. Cf. Eichel v. N.Y. Cent. R.R., 375 U.S. 253, 255 , 84 S.Ct. 316 , 11 L.Ed.2d 307 (1963) (“it would violate the spirit of the federal statutes if the receipt of disability benefits under the Railroad Retirement Act ... were considered as evidence of malingering by an employee asserting a claim under the Federal Employers’ Liability Act”).”
