Heading: The RFC Determination

Text: This same reasoning convinces us that the ALJ’s RFC determination was supported by substantial evidence. He concluded that Ms. Taylor could work in a job that generally required her to stand or walk no more than 45 minutes at one time for no more than a total of six hours a day. And he placed the same limitation on the requirements as to sitting. These finding are not vastly divergent from those of Dr. Harris, who opined that Ms. Taylor could sit, stand, and walk for up to 30 minutes at a time for a total of 4 hours a day. Moreover, with the “sit/stand option,” the ALJ made explicit his expectation that Ms. Taylor would have days of extremely limited sitting tolerance. This RFC assessment is fully consistent with the medical evidence in the record, much of which is summarized above, as well as Ms. Taylor’s own description of her lifestyle. We therefore reject this challenge to the ALJ’s opinion.
