Description
The Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") denied Tomas Delgado's application for Supplemental Security Income ("SSI") on the ground that he did not suffer from a "severe" impairment. Under recently adopted HHS regulations, such a determination automatically results in a denial of disability benefits. Delgado challenges the application of the regulations to the facts of his case. He also challenges the validity of the nonseverity regulation as inconsistent with the Social Security Act under which it was promulgated. We find that the Secretary's finding of nonseverity was not supported by substantial evidence. The district court is reversed.
