Upon remand, the Appeals Council will instruct the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) to 

reevaluate Plaintiff’s residual functional capacity, including reconsidering the opinions of State 

agency physicians Dr. Friedburg and Dr. Dalton, and explaining the weight given to these 

opinions. As necessary, the ALJ will further consider whether Plaintiff can perform work that 

exists in significant numbers within the national economy, seek additional vocational expert 

testimony, offer Plaintiff the opportunity for a hearing, take further action to complete the 

administrative record resolving the above issues, and issue a new decision.
