Heading: Failure to Consider Whole Record

Text: 12 Figueroa claims that the ALJ relied exclusively on evidence favorable to the Secretary and disregarded overwhelming evidence in the record which established his disability. As our discussion above shows, however, substantial evidence in the record supported the ALJ's decision. Two uncontradicted RFC assessments indicated that Figueroa could perform light work that entailed standing or walking for six hours out of an eight-hour workday. Some six months after Figueroa had reinjured his back in June 1990, a State Insurance Fund physician found that he could return to work. There was no evidence that Figueroa sought any treatment for pain or numbness after February 1991, and there was evidence that he was able to relieve the discomfort occasioned by his back condition. 13 Affirmed.
