OPINION

PAYNE, Justice.

We granted certiorari to determine whether the Court of Appeals applied the proper scope of review in reversing the decision of the New Mexico Department of Human Services (DHS). We hold it did not and therefore reverse. We also considered whether the Court of Appeals improperly decided questions which were neither raised at the hearing nor argued on appeal. We conclude that these questions were improperly decided.
