United States Ninth Circuit

Denial of plaintiff's application for disability benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act is reversed where an ALJ committed legal error because Rule 202.00(c) of the Medical-Vocational Guidelines, as applied to the ALJ's uncontested findings of fact, directs as a matter of law a determination that plaintiff is disabled and eligible for benefits.
