The RFC

All symptoms and disabilities must be included in your medical records together with your diagnosis, prognosis, and complete description of your limitations.  Do not limit yourself just to the physical limitations also address any neurological, cognitive, and/or psychological impairments. If your medical records do not include this information it cannot be used in the determination of your eligibility.  This information should appear in two places, in your RFC AND in your medical records.  Any symptoms, limitations, or disabilities not recorded by your physician will NOT BE INCLUDED.
