    If someone can do light work, we determine that he or she can also do sedentary work, unless there are additional limiting factors such as loss of fine dexterity or inability to sit for long periods of time.” 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1567(b), 416.967(b).

    (2012 PI & LWEC Guidelines, 123.) While the Board itself recognized that these categories had also been “adopted by the Social Security Administration” (Id.; 20 C.F.R. § 404.1567) the Board’s reliance on the same source as the SSA does not suggest it sought to adopt any SSA regulations or practices. The Board’s statement that the exertional ability definitions were the same as those “used in the Social Security system” (2012 PI & LWEC Guidelines, 45) seems intended simply to help the many attorneys and 14 doctors who were already familiar with the Dictionary of Occupational Titles from their work on cases before the SSA to understand the Board’s new guidelines.

    The physical exertional requirements of jobs involving sedentary work are defined by the Secretary in accordance with the criteria set forth in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles published by the Department of Labor. 20 C.F.R. § 404.1567. As the courts have explained: The Dictionary of Occupational Titles, which is a generally accepted guide in gauging employment capability in these cases, states that sedentary work implies a capacity to sit for at least 6 hours in an eight hour work day.
