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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The claimant bears the burden of proving: first, that he is not engaged in substantial gainful work...; second, that he has “severe” impairments, i.e., ones that “significantly limit” his ability “to do basic work activities”...; third, that he has one of the impairments listed in Appendix 1 ... for the requisite duration ... and fourth, that his impairment prevents him from engaging in past relevant work.... If the claimant survives each of these steps, the Secretary has the burden of proving that given a claimant’s age, education, work experience, and residual non-disability, he is still capable of doing work other than his past relevant work.”
