Accordingly, judgment is to be entered in favor of Plaintiff Krista Eileen Moser ("Plaintiff") and against Nancy A. Berryhill, Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration ("Commissioner"), reversing the Commissioner's finding that Plaintiff was not disabled, and therefore, not entitled to benefits.
