United States Ninth Circuit

In a Social Security appeal, the District Court's judgment affirming the Commissioner of Social Security's denial of a claimant's application for supplemental security income under Title XVI of the Social Security Act, is reversed where the administrative law judge erred in according 'limited weight' to the opinion of a nurse practitioner, because nurse practitioners are considered 'other sources.' 20 C.F.R. section 404.1513(a) and (d)(1).
