The following excerpt is from Calvin v. Heckler, 782 F.2d 802 (9th Cir. 1986):
1 This second stage was recently invalidated in Yuckert v. Heckler, 774 F.2d 1365 (9th Cir.1985). The court held that the severity regulation, by ignoring vocational factors when a claimant's impairment is found non-severe, improperly denies benefits to a claimant who has made a prima facie showing of disability.
