20 C.F.R. § 404.1545

Section 404.1545(a)(1) measures what a claimant can still do in a work setting despite limitations; foot numbness does not necessarily preclude work when clinical findings support the claimant’s ability to function.

Martinez v. Saul · filed 2022-01-25(a)(1)

But the RFC is the most a person can do in a work setting despite the person’s limitations. 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1545(a)(1), 404.1527(d)(2); Jeske v. Saul, 955 F.3d 583, 593 (7th Cir. 2020). Numbness in one’s feet doesn’t necessarily preclude all work, especially when the medical evidence shows good balance, normal gait, normal sensation, and normal or only slightly diminished strength.

An ALJ is charged with formulating the RFC based on all of the relevant evidence. 20 C.F.R. §§404.1545(a), 416.945(a). After a careful review, and contrary to Plaintiff’s assertions otherwise, I find that is what the ALJ did.

Messal v. Commissioner of Social Security · filed 2022-01-28(a)(3)

The [RFC] assessment is based upon consideration of all relevant evidence in the case record, including medical evidence and relevant nonmedical evidence, such as observations of lay witnesses of an individual’s apparent symptomology, an individual’s own statement of what he or she is able or unable to do, and many other factors that could help the adjudicator determine the most reasonable findings in light of all the evidence. ... Ultimately then, the Court cannot say the ALJ “minimally articulate[d]” her reasons for discounting Dr. Predina’s and Dr. Lovko’s opinions.

In determining a claimant’s RFC, an ALJ must consider all relevant evidence in the record, including medical records, lay evidence, and “the effects of symptoms, including pain, that are reasonably attributed to a medically determinable impairment.” See SSR 96–8p; 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1545(a)(3), 416.945(a)(3). ... Therefore, the ALJ’s conclusion that it was reasonable to expect Petitioner’s condition will improve with a return to medication is not supported by substantial evidence.

Solorzano v. Saul · filed 2022-02-18(a)(3)

Here, however, the ALJ did not rely solely on Dr. Duff’s opinion to reach its conclusions, but rather viewed the opinion as one part of the record, which provides substantial support for the ALJ’s findings.

Section 404.1545(a)(3) requires an RFC assessment to consider all relevant medical and other evidence; it need not be supported by a specific medical opinion.

(SS) White v. Commissioner of Social Security · filed 2022-02-15(a)(1)

Despite plaintiff’s contention that her impairments worsened, the ALJ explicitly stated the updated medical records are consistent with the overall medical record, including the “significant weight” afforded to the independent medical examiners and the state agency medical examiners.

While the ALJ’s decision never specifically referenced Dr. Schmidt’s conclusion that Richardson’s “ability to perform routine or repetitive tasks, in relation to employment, appears to be poor,” it is clear that the ALJ considered the record as a whole in arriving at his RFC.

Peters v. Commissioner of Social Security · filed 2022-03-18(a)(1)

The RFC assessment “is the most [a claimant] can still do despite [his or her] limitations.” 20 C.F.R. § 404.1545(a)(1). ... Here, the ALJ’s Decision makes clear that he did not rely on the state agency consultant’s early opinion to the exclusion of the other evidence. In fact, although the ALJ found the opinion was due “significant weight,” Tr. at 26, the ALJ in “an abundance of caution” assigned more restrictions in the RFC than the consultant did “based on [Plaintiff’s] subjective reports.” Tr. at 26.

Lutz v. Kijakazi · filed 2022-03-15(a)(1)

O'Leary v. Social Security · filed 2022-03-18(a)(3)

Plaintiff’s impairments were not so mild that they did not pose any significant functional limitations, and it was improper for the ALJ to draw his own conclusions regarding Plaintiff’s ability to perform medium work without the support of a medical assessment.
