Before the Court is the Commissioner’s Unopposed Motion for Entry of Judgment with Remand. (Doc. 21). The Commissioner believes that remand is appropriate to accomplish the following: [T]he Commissioner will obtain supplemental evidence from a vocational expert to determine whether there are a significant number of jobs in the national economy that Plaintiff can perform, pose a complete hypothetical question to the vocational expert that includes all the Plaintiff’s exertional and non-exertional limitations, identify and resolve any apparent conflicts between the vocational expert’s testimony and information in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, offer Plaintiff the opportunity for a new hearing, and take any other action deemed necessary.
