Heading: Restriction on Handling Papers

Text: Dr. Amin also checked a box in his report indicating Ms. Hays could not “sort, handle, [or] use paper/files.” Aplt. App., Admin. R. Vol. 2, at 415. Notations in the report state this was due to the limited use of her right hand and that the restriction would not last for twelve months, once her wrist healed. Nothing in the record suggests this restriction still would have been relevant more than four years later, when the ALJ formulated Ms. Hays’s RFC, or that it was not addressed within the limitations the ALJ placed on her RFC. In addition, the vocational expert stated the occupations that fit Ms. Hays’s profile could be performed one-handed. Id., 7 Vol. 3, at 681. Therefore, we discern no error with respect to the ALJ’s assessment of Ms. Hays’s ability to handle papers.
