Burney v. Berryhill · filed 2017-08-22(a)

An ALJ makes an RFC assessment based on all of the relevant medical and other evidence. 20 C.F.R. § 404.1545(a). ... The record supports a finding that the ALJ made an incorrect RFC finding which did not include the limitations that plaintiff could not sit up to six hours in an eight-hour workday and needed to use a cane to both stand ánd walk.

An ALJ assessing residual functional capacity cannot substitute an independent interpretation of medical records for a medical expert’s assessment after rejecting the treating sources’ opinions.

Vaughn v. Berryhill · filed 2017-03-17

In this instance, because the ALJ rejected the treating physicians’ and the chiropractor’s opinions, he independently interpreted these most recent medical records (AR16-20) and devised a sedentary RFC without crediting a medical expert who reviewed all of the medical evidence. This was error.

Residual functional capacity is the most a claimant can still do despite her limitations.

Hudson-Kane v. Berryhill · filed 2017-03-28(a)(1)

Khal v. Berryhill · filed 2017-04-28(a)

We conclude the ALJ did not err in his discussion of the medical evidence or in his evaluation of the GAF scores in the record.

Morton v. Colvin · filed 2018-01-02(a)(1)

Hall v. Colvin · filed 2018-02-06(a)(1)

Santos v. Social Security Administration, Commissioner · filed 2018-04-17(a)(3)

In deciding the claimant’s RFC, the ALJ must consider all relevant medical evidence. 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1545(a)(3), 416.945(a)(3). ... Here, the ALJ’s RFC determination -- which incorporated Santos’s ability to perform simple, routine, and repetitive tasks at a non-production-rate pace while occasionally interacting with supervisors, co-workers, and the public -- was supported by substantial evidence.

An ALJ determining residual functional capacity must consider relevant medical evidence, including treating physicians’ findings; failure to do so can warrant remand.

Scully v. Berryhill · filed 2017-10-12(a)

In this case, however, the uncited evidence consisted of extensive notes of treating physicians and contained findings inconsistent with the ALJ's conclusions. Nothing suggests that the ALJ considered the findings of Drs. Polepalle and Zheng, let alone explains how he weighed their findings in determining Scully's RFC. Thus, remand is appropriate.

A residual functional capacity finding must have record support for the specific work activities a claimant is found able to perform.

Andrade-Hermort v. Berryhill · filed 2017-11-06(a)(1)

There is nothing in the medical evidence record, however, that supports their RFC assessments-and thereby the ALJ's RFC determination-that plaintiff can occasionally lift twenty pounds, frequently lift ten pounds, stand and/or sit about 6 hours in an 8-hour workday, and frequently climb, kneel, stoop, crawl, and crouch.

Masters v. Commissioner of Social Security · filed 2017-11-17(a)(3)

In formulating an RFC finding, “the ALJ evaluates all relevant medical and other evidence and considers what weight to assign to treating, consultative, and examining physicians’ opinions.” Eslinger v. Comm’r of Soc. Sec., 476 F. App’x 618, 621 (6th Cir. 2012) (citing 20 C.F.R. § 404.1545(a)(3)).

Combs v. Berryhill · filed 2017-12-28

By relying on his own interpretation of what “no acute distress” and “normal movement of all extremities” meant in terms of Combs’ RFC, the ALJ failed to satisfy his duty to fully and fairly develop the record.

Jones v. Social Security Administration Commissioner · filed 2018-02-02

The record revealed that both non- examining medical consultants completed RFC assessments prior to October of 2014, and that no medical professional opined as to how these upper extremity limitations might impact Plaintiff’s ability to function.

Tate v. Berryhill · filed 2018-02-02(a)(1)

In assessing a claimant's RFC, “the ALJ must evaluate all limitations that arise from medically determinable impairments, even those that are not severe,” and may not dismiss evidence contrary to the ALJ's determination. ... By not explaining why he did not incorporate these functional limitations in Plaintiff’s RFC, the ALJ failed “to build an accurate and logical bridge” from the evidence to his conclusion.

An RFC assessment considers all relevant medical and other evidence.

Barnhart v. Berryhill · filed 2018-02-07(a)(3)

The RFC assessment is based on “all of the relevant medical and other evidence.” 20 C.F.R. § 404.1545(a)(3). ... The ALJ made reference to the medical findings, as well as other evidence, in assigning additional limitations to Barnhart’s RFC, such as limiting the use of his right upper extremity and limiting him to simple routine tasks involving no more than simple, short instructions. ... Having reviewed the evidence and considered the arguments made by Barnhart and being mindful of the admonishment that the reviewing court may not reweigh the evidence or substitute its judgment for that of the Commissioner, the Court finds that the RFC assessment made by the ALJ was supported by substantial evidence.

Section 404.1545(a)(3)-(4) requires an ALJ to base an RFC determination on the evidence, including medical opinions, rather than set the RFC first and give opinions weight because they support it.

“The RFC must be assessed based on all the relevant evidence in the record.” Id. at 1001 (citing 20 C.F.R. § 404.1545(a)(1)). ... These conclusions are not supported by substantial evidence. ... The ALJ did not articulate why she thought Dr. Maguluri’s no-bending restriction was “vague.”

An RFC assessment need not be supported by a medical opinion if the record otherwise provides sufficient evidence.

The residual functional capacity assessment is a finding of the most a claimant can do in a work setting despite his limitations caused by impairments. 20 C.F.R. § 404.1545(a)(1). ...

Residual functional capacity is assessed using all relevant evidence in the record.

Fair v. Social Security Administration Commissioner · filed 2019-02-01(a)(1)

In the present case, when determining that Plaintiff could perform light work with limitations, the ALJ considered the relevant medical records, the medical opinions from treating and non-examining physicians, and set forth the reasons for the weight given to the opinions. ...
