MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Fraiser v. Schweiker, 878 F.2d 1438 (9th Cir. 1989):

Frasier filed for benefits, there was a legal basis for his claim, and he received benefits. He therefore prevailed. See id. at 1259 (Easterbrook, J., concurring). See also Rhoten v. Bowen, 854 F.2d 667 (4th Cir.1988) (claimants were prevailing parties where remand ordered before enactment of Reform Act but benefits reinstated under new standard).
