An ALJ must assess residual functional capacity using all the evidence; an assessment allowing greater ability than every medical opinion needs other supporting evidence.

Hobart v. Kijakazi · filed 2023-02-21(a)(3)

It is the ALJ’s duty to assess a claimant’s RFC and that the ALJ must consider all of the evidence, not only the medical opinions of record. ...

Williams v. Commissioner of Social Security · filed 2023-02-27(a)(3)

Belcher v. Commissioner of Social Security · filed 2023-03-03

Given the record evidence of significant impairments and the absence of any useful assessment from a medical source concerning plaintiff’s functional capabilities, I find that the RFC is not supported by substantial evidence and that remand is warranted.

Doty v. Commissioner of Social Security · filed 2023-03-28(a)(3)

By failing to clarify or otherwise supplement the only opinion in the record, the ALJ left a gap in the record and relied instead on his own lay opinion to interpret the medical records and testimony.
