COX v. APFEL

No. 98-1717.

160 F.3d 1203 (1998)

Sharon K. COX, Appellant, v. Kenneth S. APFEL, Commissioner of Social Security, Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

Decided November 23, 1998.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Teresa M. Meagher, Leawood, KS, argued, for appellant.

Mark S. Naggi, Social Security Administration, Kansas City, KS, argued (James Curt Bohling, on the brief), for appellee.

Before RICHARD S. ARNOLD, BEAM, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.

BEAM, Circuit Judge.

Sharon Cox appeals the district court's order affirming an administrative law judge's denial of social security disability benefits. Because the administrative law judge (ALJ) failed to fully consider the ramifications of an implanted morphine pump, and failed to adequately develop the record, there is not substantial evidence to support the ALJ's decision. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for further proceedings.
