Description
LIVELY, Senior Circuit Judge. This is an appeal from a final decision of the Benefits Review Board (BRB) under the Black Lung Benefits Act, as amended, 30 U.S.C. §§ 901-945 (1988), and regulations of the Secretary of Labor promulgated pursuant to the Act. An administrative law Judge (ALJ) found that a 68 year old former coal miner who had more than 39 years of qualifying coal mine employment, who had pneumoconiosis and was totally disabled, was not entitled to benefits because the claimant had failed to establish that the disability is of respiratory or pulmonary origin or is due to pneumoconiosis. The Benefits Review Board upheld the denial. We reverse and remand for an award of benefits.
