Courts in the Fourth Circuit have confirmed that "the ALJ's mere failure to mention . . . work history explicitly does not warrant remand or reversal in the face of [the] otherwise supported findings." Terrell v. Colvin, 2015 WL 966256, at *13 (E.D. Va. Mar. 4, 2015); see also Pope v. Colvin, 2016 WL 1211807, at *12 (W.D. Va. Mar. 8, 2016), R. & R. adopted, 2016 WL 1226972 (W.D. Va. Mar. 28, 2016) ("[E]ven though the ALJ did not explicitly address the correlation between [the claimant's] work history and her credibility, the ALJ was well aware of her work history, as he developed the evidence of such . . . during the hearing."); Cooper v. Astrue, 2011 WL 6742500, at *7 (E.D. Va. Nov. 8, 2011), R. & R. adopted, 2011 WL 6749018 (E.D. Va. Dec. 22, 2011) (finding that work history alone does not contravene an ALJ's credibility finding where substantial objective medical evidence in the record does not support a plaintiff's subjective complaints).

Dec. 22, 2011) (finding that work history alone does not contravene an ALJ's credibility finding where substantial objective medical evidence in the record does not support a plaintiff's subjective complaints). Thus, when the ALJ appropriately considers all relevant factors, hears the claimant's testimony and observes her demeanor, the ALJ's credibility determination deserves deference.
"An ALJ's mere failure to mention a claimant's work history explicitly does not warrant remand or reversal in the face of his otherwise supported findings." Pope v. Colvin, No. 2:15CV00001, 2016 WL 1211807, at *12 (W.D. Va. Mar. 8, 2016); see Cooper v. Astrue, 2011 WL 6742500, at *7 (E.D.Va. Nov. 8, 2011); see also Nathans v. Colvin, No. 5:14-CV-03859-RBH, 2016 WL 403059, at *5 (D.S.C. Feb. 3, 2016). In this case, substantial evidence supports the ALJ's credibility determination, as discussed above.
