Description

Opinion Per Curiam: Phillip Beavers, a former coal miner, seeks review of a decision and order of the Benefits Review Board (Board) affirming the administrative law Judge's (ALJ) denial of his application for black lung benefits pursuant to 30 U.S.C.A. §§ 901-45 (West 1986 & Supp. 1994). The only issue in this appeal is whether substantial evidence supports the ALJ's finding that Beavers failed to establish total disability due to pneumoconiosis. Because we find that the ALJ committed error in weighing the medical opinion evidence relevant to this issue, we vacate the Board's decision and order that it remand this case to the ALJ for further proceedings.
