What if the ALJ did not consider or address the side effects of my medications on my employability?

An ALJ must consider both precipitating and aggravating factors of your disability and the type, dosage, effectiveness and side effects of medications.  So, you may want to say that “The ALJ failed to properly evaluate and consider both precipitating and aggravating factors of my disability and the type, dosage and effectiveness of my medications.” or 

“The ALJ erred in failing to take into account the effect of medications on Claimant’s residual functional capacity in determining disability, in violating of SSR 96-7.”
