What must an ALJ do to determine the degree of limitations in each of the “Six Functional Domains”?

In determining the degree of limitation in each of the six functional domains the ALJ has to consider all symptoms and the extent to which these symptoms can reasonably be accepted as consistent with the objective medical evidence and other evidence, based on the requirements of 20 CFR 416.929, SSRs 96-4p and 96-7p.  The ALJ has to also consider the opinion evidence in accordance with 20 CFR 416.927 and SSRs 96-2p, 96-5, 96-6p and 06-3p.
