See Fentress v. Berryhill, 854 F.3d 1016, 1019-20 (8th Cir. 2017) (discussing standard of review). Specifically, the administrative law judge’s (ALJ’s) determination on Kochen’s residual functional capacity (RFC) is supported by substantial evidence. See Hensley v. Colvin, 829 F.3d 926, 931-32 (8th Cir. 2016) (noting that claimant has burden to establish his RFC); Wildman v. Astrue, 596 F.3d 959, 969 (8th Cir. 2010) (holding that RFC is influenced by determination that claimant’s allegations are not credible, and that ALJ is not obligated to include limitations from opinions he properly disregarded). The judgment is affirmed. ______________________________
