In sum, review of the record demonstrates the ALJ properly considered all the medical and nonmedical evidence in determining Plaintiff’s RFC that she could perform light work with some limitations and could return to her past work as an optometric technician and medical assistant.

Bandych v. Commissioner of Social Security · filed 2020-03-26(a)(3)

At the administrative level, the A.L.J. alone assesses RFC based on all relevant evidence of record, not just medical opinions. ... Therefore, as the A.L.J. did not rely on a medical opinion for determining Plaintiff’s RFC and the Record lacks “overwhelmingly compelling” evidence to permit a lay RFC determination, the Court must remand this case.

Section 404.1545(a)(3) requires an ALJ to consider all relevant medical and other evidence, including the functional effects of migraines, when assessing residual functional capacity.

Id. § 404.1545(a)(3). ... Substantial evidence supports the ALJ’s determination as to Hodgson’s RFC.
