“should reverse the Commissioner’s decision and remand the appeal from the Commissioner’s denial of benefits for further development of the evidence. If, on the other hand, the [reviewing] court determines there is substantial evidence of disability in the administrative record, it may decide to reverse the Commissioner’s decision, make a determination of disability and remand solely for the calculation of benefits. Such a remedy is an extraordinary action and is proper only when further development of the record would serve no purpose.”
