Description

In this class action, applicants for social security disability insurance benefits challenge two regulations promulgated by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. First, the applicants challenge "Step 2" of the Secretarys sequential evaluation process, under which the Secretary may deny disability benefits if he determines that the applicants impairment is not "severe." Second, they challenge the Secretarys policy prior to December 1, 1984, of not considering the combined effects of multiple impairments in determining whether an applicant was disabled. The district court found that both of these policies were invalid. It accordingly enjoined the Secretary from applying the regulations and ordered him to redetermine class members eligibility for benefits. We vacate in part, affirm in part, and remand.
