SUMMARY CONCLUSIONS
This section is for recording summary conclusions derived from the evidence in file. Each mental activity is to be evaluated within
the context of the individual's capacity to sustain that activity over a normal workday and workweek, on an ongoing basis. Detailed
explanation of the degree of limitation for each category (A through D), as well as any other assessment information you deem
appropriate, is to be recorded in Section III (Functional Capacity Assessment).
If rating Category 5 is checked for any of the following items, you MUST specify in Section II the evidence that is needed to make
the assessment. If you conclude that the record is so inadequately documented that no accurate functional capacity assessment
can be made, indicate in Section II what development is necessary. but DO NOT COMPLETE SECTION III.
