Jeffrey F. RYAN, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Margaret M. HECKLER, Secretary of Health and Human Services, Defendant-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

June 11, 1985.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William A. Barnett, Florence, Ala., for plaintiff-appellant.

Frank W. Donaldson, U.S. Atty., Mary P. Thornton, Mark Tippins, Asst. U.S. Attys., Birmingham, Ala., for defendant-appellee.

Before GODBOLD, Chief Judge, ANDERSON, Circuit Judge, and THORNBERRY, Senior Circuit Judge.

GODBOLD, Chief Judge:

The Secretary denied child insurance benefits and SSI benefits to a 25 year-old man who is brain damaged and suffers from seizures and emotional problems. The district court found substantial evidence to support the Secretary's decision. Because the Secretary failed to follow her own regulations, we vacate and remand for further consideration under proper legal standards.
