What if the judge wrongly decided I could go back to medium work when all I can do is light work or sedentary work?

You may want to state in your appeal that “The ALJ’s decision that the Claimant can do “medium” duty work is not supported by the evidence of record and ignores uncontroverted evidence of record by Dr._______________ (insert record evidence) and/or treating physicians that place the Claimant at a “light’ duty exertional capacity or less which, based on the Claimant’s age, education, transferable job skills or lack there of would mandate a finding of disabled pursuant to Pt 404, Sub Pt. P, App.2, 201-202.
Or:

“The ALJ has failed to adequately articulate the bases for finding the Claimant capable of medium duty work or for accepting the opinions of evaluating or non evaluating sources over those sources whom are considered “treating” sources concerning the Claimant’s residual physical or psychological ability to engage in full-time employment.”
