Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit May 23, 1997, 95-4025 (Joan M. PORCH, Appellant, v. Shirley S. CHATER, Commissioner of the Social Security Administration, Appellee)

BEAM, Circuit Judge.

Joan M. Porch appeals the district court’s affirmance of a denial of Social Security benefits. Because the record does not contain substantial evidence to support the finding of the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), we reverse and remand for an award of benefits.

Porch is a fifty-four-year-old woman with degenerative disc disease and carpal tunnel syndrome.
