Seventh Circuit -- Gregory Weatherbee v. Michael Astrue

Gregory Weatherbee v. Michael Astrue

 In proceedings before an ALJ, the reconciliation of a vocational expert's testimony with the DOT is accomplished by the VE's declaration under oath that he or she will identify any such variances.

VE's statements as to potential jobs to be performed by the claimant refer to general types of tasks, not specific jobs in the DOT.
