  1. Geraldine C. B. v. Kijakazi

    21-cv-1750-DEB (S.D. Cal. Sep. 29, 2023)   Cited 1 times
    Noting that while the ALJ found mild limitations in two mental health functional areas at step two, the Decision does not explain why the RFC does not contain these limitations

    Although the Commissioner cites this Court's decision in Janet A. v. Kijakazi, 21-cv-0227-DEB, 2022 WL 4004199 (S.D. Cal. Sept. 1, 2022) for the proposition that the ALJ was not required to include Claimant's mild mental limitations in the RFC, this Court stated in Janet A. that “[a]n ALJ must consider the limiting effect of all impairments, including non-severe ones,” but found the failure to do so there was harmless because (unlike the case here) “nothing in the record establishes Plaintiff's mental impairments have any effect on her ability to work.” Id. at *4.
