Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit July 11, 2000, 99-2405 (Garland M. Ross v. Kenneth S. Apfel, Commissioner of Social Security Administration)

RICHARD S. ARNOLD, Circuit Judge.

Garland Ross appeals the denial of his application for social-security disability benefits. He argues that the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) based the denial on insubstantial evidence. The District Court upheld the denial. We agree with the claimant that the denial was not based on substantial evidence on the record as a whole, and we therefore reverse.

I.
