Heading: Combined Effects of Impairments

Text: Ms. Welch additionally contends the ALJ failed to consider the combined effects of all her non-severe impairments with her severe impairments. She specifically points to such non-severe impairments as gastrointestinal problems, chronic pain, a hernia, chest pain, post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”), and suicidal tendencies. However, Ms. Welch does not identify how any of these impairments affected her functioning during the time she claims she was disabled, either individually or in combination with each other. See 20 C.F.R. § 404.1512(c). Further, there was no other medical evidence that these complications restricted her ability to work. Thus, even if the ALJ did err, such error is harmless because Ms. Welch fails to identify—and we do not discern—any resulting prejudice.
