Tex. Aug. 8, 2018))); Stone v. Heckler, 752 F.2d 1099, 1101 (5th Cir. 1985). “[C]ourts require ALJs to provide an explanation as to why ‘having identified an impairment as severe at Step Two, he did not incorporate specific limitations in the RFC based on that severe impairment.’” Demetre G., 2023 WL 6120614 , at *4 (quoting Esser, 2021 WL 9569834 , at *5).

An impairment can be considered not severe “only if it is a slight abnormality [having] such minimal effect on the individual that it would not be expected to interfere with the individual's ability to work, irrespective of age, education or work experience.” Keel v.

With respect to step two of the analysis, Section 416.922(a) defines an impairment as non-severe “if it does not significantly limit your physical or mental ability to do basic work activities.” But the Fifth Circuit has consistently adopted a construction of this language that reflects a lower bar for severity than what the regulatory language might ostensibly suggest, deeming an impairment to be non-severe “only if it is a slight abnormality [having] such minimal effect on…

As to the severity of the plaintiff’s headache disorder, an impairment can be considered as not severe “only if it is a slight abnormality [having] such minimal effect on the individual that it would not be expected to interfere with the individual’s ability to work, irrespective of age, education or work experience.” Stone v. Heckler, 752 F.2d 1099, 1101 (5th Cir. 1985).

The Fifth Circuit assumes “the ALJ . . . applied an incorrect standard to the severity requirement unless the correct standard is set forth by reference to [Stone v. Heckler, 752 F.2d 1099, 1106 (5th Cir. 1985)] or by an express statement that the construction [the Fifth Circuit] give[s] to 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520 (c) (1984) is used.” R&R [12] at 8 (quoting Stone, 752 F.2d at 1106 ).

A. The ALJ’s not considering all of the medical opinions in the record when determining the severity of Claudio’s mental impairments was harmless error. “[A]n impairment can be considered as not severe only if it is a slight abnormality [having] such minimal effect on the individual that it would not be expected to interfere with the individual's ability to work, irrespective of age, education or work experience.” Stone v. Heckler, 752 F.2d 1099, 1101 (5th Cir. 1985).

In support of the ALJ’s decision regarding the severity of Plaintiff’s alleged mental impairment, the Commissioner argues first that, although there is case law for requiring application of the regulatory special technique to determine if a claimant has a severe mental impairment at step two, the Fifth Circuit provided the appropriate standard for doing so in this Circuit in Stone v. Heckler, 752 F.2d 1099, 1101 (5th Cir. 1985).

The Fifth Circuit recently clarified that “[t]hough the precise wording differs,” Social Security Ruling 85-28 comports with its holding in Stone v. Heckler, 752 F.2d 1099, 1101 (5th Cir. 1985).
