Section 404.1545(a)(2) requires the ALJ to account for an impairment’s functional limitations even when the impairment is found not severe at Step Two.

MEKIC v. BERRYHILL · filed 2019-09-27(a)(2)

What really matters is that the ALJ account for whatever functional limitations the condition causes. See SSR 96-8p, 1996 WL 374184 (S.S.A.), at *5 (July 2, 1996); 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1545(a)(2), 416.945(a)(2).

Section 404.1545(e) requires the ALJ to consider limitations from nonsevere impairments when assessing residual functional capacity.

McMillian v. Berryhill · filed 2019-09-20(e)

Because the ALJ erred at step two in determining that McMillan’s sleep apnea and his hearing loss/tinnitus were not severe and in failing to consider any limitations associated therewith in the RFC determination, and because the ALJ’s RFC determination that McMillan can do “frequent overhead reaching” is not supported by substantial evidence, this case must be remanded for further consideration at step two and for re-evaluation of McMillan’s RFC.

(SS) Olson v. Commissioner of Social Security · filed 2019-09-19(a)

The ALJ must consider all of the relevant medical opinions as well as the combined effects of all of the plaintiff’s impairments, even those that are not “severe.” ... In this regard, the ALJ’s RFC determination fails to account for plaintiff’s limitation to lifting no more than 5 pounds, as indicated by Dr. Field’s opinion. And the ALJ offered no reason for failing to credit Dr. Field’s opinion with respect to this limitation. As such, the ALJ committed legal error.

Weed v. Berryhill · filed 2019-09-17(a)(2)

Therefore, the undersigned finds that, to the extent that the ALJ erred in failing to find Plaintiff’s sleep apnea a severe impairment, the error was harmless because the ALJ proceeded with the analysis and considered all of Plaintiff’s symptoms, including those associated with sleep apnea, which overlapped entirely with her symptoms flowing from fibromyalgia.

An ALJ must consider severe and nonsevere impairments when assessing residual functional capacity, but a nonsevere impairment does not automatically require an additional limitation.

An RFC need not include a limitation from a nonsevere impairment when the record does not support that limitation.

Tiegland v. Saul · filed 2019-08-30(a)(1)

Although an ALJ should consider both severe and non-severe impairments when determining a claimant’s RFC, if the record does not support limitations from the non-severe impairment, the ALJ need not account for the impairment.

Section 404.1545(a)(2) requires consideration of severe and non-severe impairments in the remaining disability analysis; a severity classification error is harmless when the ALJ considers the impairment there.

Yaden v. SSA · filed 2019-08-23(a)(2)

Because the Regulations instruct the ALJ to consider both severe and non-severe impairments in the remaining steps of the disability determination analysis, any impairment erroneously labeled as “non-severe” will not be ignored altogether. ... Thus, even assuming there was an error in determining the severity of Plaintiff’s impairments, it would be harmless.

An RFC assessment must account for limitations from both severe and non-severe impairments.

DiVincenzo v. Commissioner of Social Security · filed 2019-08-23(a)(2)

“A RFC determination must account for limitations imposed by both severe and non-severe impairments.” Parker-Grose v. Astrue, 462 F. App’x 16, 18 (2d Cir. 2012) (citing 20 C.F.R. § 404.1545(a)(2)). ... In this case, the Court finds that the RFC for light work properly accounted for Plaintiff’s prior cardiac history, as noted by the ALJ.

Section 404.1545 requires an ALJ to assess residual functional capacity using all relevant evidence; considering whether non-severe impairments cause work-related limitations can satisfy that requirement without specific RFC language about each impairment.

Finley v. SSA · filed 2019-08-29

Before moving on to the fourth step, the ALJ must use all of the relevant evidence in the record to determine the claimant’s residual functional capacity (RFC), which assess an individual’s ability to perform certain physical and metal work activities on a sustained basis despite any impairment experienced by the individual. See 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(e); 20 C.F.R. § 404.1545. ... The ALJ, did, however, fully consider that his non-severe physical impairments did not result in significant work-related limitations.

Warson v. Commissioner, Social Security Administration · filed 2019-08-21(a)(2)

The Court finds the ALJ’s failure to consider Ms. Warson’s PTSD contravenes applicable legal standards and thus, the RFC assessment and the disability conclusions at step four and step five of the sequential analysis are not supported by substantial evidence.

Section 404.1545(e) requires consideration of non-severe impairments when determining residual functional capacity.

Smith v. Chater · filed 1998-01-29(e)

Gibbons v. Barnhart · filed 2003-12-18(e)

More specifically, 20 C.F.R. § 404.1545(e) advises that when a claimant has a severe impairment which does not meet one of the listed impairments, the ALJ must nevertheless “consider the limiting effects of all . . . impairment(s), even those that are not severe, in determining . . . residual functional capacity.” ... Although the ALJ did not specifically state that he was considering her impairments in combination, the conclusions he reached in determining Ms. Gibbons’ residual functional ability show that he did so.

Once an ALJ finds at least one severe impairment, the residual functional capacity assessment must consider all impairments, including those that are not severe.

Pompa v. Commissioner of Social Security · filed 2003-08-11(e)

Under the regulations, once the ALJ determines that a claimant has at least one severe impairment, the ALJ must consider all impairments, severe and non-severe, in the remaining steps. 20 C.F.R. § 404.1545(e). Because the ALJ found that Pompa had a severe impairment at step two of the analysis, the question of whether the ALJ characterized any other alleged impairment as severe or not severe is of little consequence. As the ALJ considered all of Pompa’s impairments in her residual functional capacity assessment finding, Pompa’s argument is without merit.

Stokes v. Astrue · filed 2008-04-18(e)

That failure, by itself, does not constitute reversible error, see Maziarz v. Sec’y of Health & Human Servs., 837 F.2d 240, 244 (6th Cir. 1987), because once the ALJ finds the claimant has a medically severe impairment or combination of impairments, he or she is required to “consider the limiting effects of all [the claimant’s] impairment(s), even those that are not severe, in determining [the claimant’s] residual functional capacity.” 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1545(e), 416.945(e) (emphasis added).

Ferrante v. Astrue · filed 2010-11-29(e)

While it is true that an administrative law judge must include the limitations caused even by nonsevere impairments in his or her consideration of a claimant’s RFC, here the plaintiff relies, to the extent that this argument is properly raised with sufficient amplification, on the “limitations as set forth by Dr. Graf based upon inclusion of a severe problem in the low back.” Itemized Statement at 8. If the plaintiff proffers nothing other than the limitations set by Dr. Graf, based on his conclusion that a severe problem in the low back existed, then there are no identified limitations caused by any problem in the low back that the administrative law judge could have considered in connection with her determination of the plaintiffs RFC.

Section 404.1545(a)(1) requires an RFC assessment to account for relevant mild mental limitations even when the underlying impairments are not severe.

Dross-Swart v. Astrue · filed 2012-05-30(a)(1)

Although not severe, the mild limitations in activities of daily living, social functioning, and concentration, persistence and pace caused by her diagnoses of MDD, Adjustment Disorder with mixed anxiety, and depression, that the ALJ adopted in her opinion should have been incorporated into the ALJ’s RFC analysis. See 20 C.F.R. § 404.1545(a)(1) (“We will assess your residual functional capacity based on all the relevant evidence in your case record.”) (emphasis added).

Section 404.1545(e) requires the ALJ to consider the effects of all impairments, including those that are not severe, when determining residual functional capacity.

Neff v. Astrue · filed 2012-07-13(e)

The Commissioner is correct that it may be irrelevant whether the ALJ incorrectly adjudged an impairment as not severe, so long as the ALJ considered the effects of all impairments in conducting the sequential listing and residual functional capacity analysis.

Section 404.1545(a)(2) requires consideration of non-severe impairments when assessing residual functional capacity.

Rhonda Mason v. SSA · filed 2013-01-30(a)(2)

An RFC assessment must consider the combined effects of a claimant’s impairments, including impairments found non-severe on their own.

Thomas v. Colvin · filed 2014-03-11(a)

Similarly, the ALJ did not consider the impairments that she had previously ruled singly non-severe, which included Thomas’s fibromyalgia, sciatica, left thumb inflammation, and history of arthritis. These, too, should have been considered in concert with Thomas’s other impairments to determine their collective effect on her ability to work.

Wells v. Astrue · filed 2013-08-19(a)(2)

First, a conclusion that the claimant’s mental impairments are non-severe at step two does not permit the ALJ simply to disregard those impairments when assessing a claimant’s RFC and making conclusions at steps four and five. In his RFC assessment, the ALJ must consider the combined effect of all medically determinable impairments, whether severe or not.

Section 404.1545(a)(2) requires the RFC assessment to consider all medically determinable impairments, including those found non-severe at step two.

Suttles v. Colvin · filed 2013-10-31(a)(2)

Rather, “[i]n his RFC assessment, the ALJ must consider the combined effect of all medically determinable impairments, whether severe or not.” Id. at 1069 (citing 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1545(a)(2), 416.945(a)(2)). ... Taking “common sense, not technical perfection, [a]s our guide,” Keyes-Zachary v. Astrue, 695 F.3d 1156, 1167 (10th Cir. 2012), we hold that the ALJ conducted a mental RFC assessment separate from the non-severity determination made at step two.

Duguay v. SSA · filed 2014-09-30(e)

This is so because, once an ALJ identifies one severe impairment, he “must consider the limiting effects of all [the impairments], even those that are not severe.” 20 C.F.R. § 404.1545(e); see also id. § 416.923. While Duguay suggests that the ALJ in fact failed to consider the limiting effects of her syncope in the balance of analysis, that is belied by the decision itself, which, as the Commissioner points out, repeatedly refers to Duguay’s syncope.

An RFC assessment must account for all medically determinable impairments, including those that are not severe.

McKinzie v. Colvin · filed 2015-12-18(a)(2)

When an ALJ provides a hypothetical RFC assessment that does not adequately account for all of the claimant’s medically determinable impairments, including impairments that are not severe, that assessment lacks an adequate basis in fact. Ghanim v. Colvin, 763 F.3d 1154, 1166 (9th Cir. 2014); see also 20 C.F.R. § 404.1545(a)(2). The ALJ’s hypothetical failed to include several of McKinzie’s known impairments, and as a result, the vocational expert’s testimony did not establish that jobs existed in the national economy for an individual with McKinzie’s impairments.

Section 404.1545(e) requires an ALJ to consider the limiting effects of non-severe impairments when assessing residual functional capacity.

Allman v. Colvin · filed 2016-02-23(e)

While an ALJ must consider the limiting effects of non-severe impairments in determining the claimant’s RFC, 20 C.F.R. § 404.1545(e), Mr. Allman concedes that the ALJ considered his headaches, noting the frequency with which the ALJ referenced such headaches in his analysis, Appellant’s Opening Br. at 6. We agree that the ALJ’s references reflect thoughtful consideration of Mr. Allman’s headaches.

Bradley v. Colvin · filed 2016-03-15(a)(1), (a)(2)

When assessing a claimant’s RFC, the ALJ must consider all the relevant evidence in the record. See 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1545(a)(1), 416.945(a)(1). This includes evidence of all medically determinable impairments, even those that are not severe. Id. §§ 404.1545(a)(2), 416.945(a)(2). ... Because the record shows the ALJ considered Bradley’s hand impairments in determining his RFC, the ALJ’s failure to specifically discuss them at the fourth step does not require reversal.

Residual functional capacity assessments must consider all impairments, including those found nonsevere at step two.

Marovich v. Colvin · filed 2016-03-24(a)(2)

Moreover, the ALJ did determine that other impairments were severe and, therefore, he did not dispose of her benefit claim as groundless,4 but moved on to the further steps at which he was required to consider all impairments—severe or not.

Reed v. Colvin · filed 2016-08-16(a)(2)

But Reed ignores the ALJ’s detailed discussion of the treatment records from August and September 2012 that address her complaints of neck and shoulder pain and the diagnostic findings concerning her neck. And the ALJ then explicitly tied these conditions to specific exertional limitations, reasoning that Reed’s neck and shoulder pain would prevent her from lifting or carrying more than 20 pounds but would not rule out light work, see id. § 404.1567(b).

Williams v. Berryhill · filed 2017-03-17(a)(2)

Again, we agree, and if the ALJ’s analysis on remand proceeds beyond step three, he will need to consider Ms. Williams’s conversion disorder in his RFC determination. “[I]n assessing the claimant’s RFC, the ALJ must consider the combined effect of all of the claimant’s medically determinable impairments, whether severe or not severe.” Wells v. Colvin, 727 F.3d 1061, 1065 (10th Cir. 2013) citing 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1545(a)(2), 416.945(a)(2).

Section 404.1545 requires an RFC assessment to consider limitations from all medically determinable impairments, including nonsevere impairments.

Arevalo v. Berryhill · filed 2018-01-30(a)(2)

The RFC determination must be based on the limitations from all medically determinable impairments, both severe and non-severe. ... The ALJ did not mention how the non-severe impairments factored into her RFC analysis. ... Thus, because the ALJ is instructed to reexamine the medical opinions and evidence to determine Arevalo’s RFC on remand, the ALJ should also reconsider and explain how Arevalo’s non-severe impairments factor into the RFC analysis.
