Description
HEANEY, Circuit Judge. Willie Spencer appeals from a final judgment entered in the District Court1 for the Eastern District of Missouri affirming a denial of disability insurance benefits under 42 U.S.C. § 401 et seq. (1982) (Title II). For reversal appellant argues that (1) the decision of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (Secretary) that he was not disabled prior to the end of his insured status in June 1978 is not supported by substantial evidence on the record as a whole and (2) the administrative law judge (ALJ) improperly relied upon the medical-vocational guidelines (grid) in determining that he was not disabled. For the reasons discussed below, we reverse and remand with directions to award benefits as of June 30, 1978.
