“A hypothetical question posed to the vocational expert is sufficient if it sets forth impairments supported by substantial evidence in the record and accepted as true by the ALJ. The hypothetical question must capture the concrete consequences of the claimant’s deficiencies. Likewise the ALJ may 'exclude any alleged impairments that [he]' has properly rejected as un'true or unsubstantiated.”
