Must an ALJ elicit testimony from a vocational expert (VE) if it is found that a claimant cannot go back to my past relevantd. work?

Yes, as a consequence of a claimant being unable to return to past relevant work, an ALJ should elicit VE testimony to determine whether the claimant could perform other work. Foote v.Chater, 67 F.3d 1553 (11th Cir. 1995).
