What else does an ALJ have to consider?

In assessing whether the claimant has “marked” or “extreme” limitations, the ALJ must consider the functional limitations from all medically determinable impairments, including any impairments that are not severe (20 CFR 416.926a(a)).  The ALJ must consider the interactive and cumulative effects of the claimant’s impairment or multiple impairments in any affected domain (20 CFR 416.926a(c)).
