What if I feel that the ALJ did not really pay attention to what my own doctors had to say about my illness?

You might want to state that “The ALJ failed to give proper consideration and weight to the records and opinions of treating sources pursuant to Provision of 20 CFR 404.1527 and 416.927 and Social Security Rulings 96-2p and 96-5p and 96-6p and adequately explain the weight given to such opinion evidence.” or

“The ALJ failed to consider additional medical records submitted to the ALJ prior to the entry of the ALJ’s decision in this case.” or “The ALJ erred in failing to accord adequate weight to the opinion of my treating physician.” Or “The ALJ erred in improperly discounting the opinions of my treating physician Dr. _______  stating without basis in fact or reason as to how or why the treating physician’s opinions appear to rest at least in part on an assessment of an impairment(s) outside the doctor’s area of expertise and were rendered less than persuasive”, or “The ALJ erred in not finding Dr.                 ‘s opinions persuasive stating without basis in fact or reason that the opinions appeared to be internally inconsistent”.
