Description
ANNA DIGGS TAYLOR, District Judge. Petitioner Frances Brown seeks review of a decision of the Benefits Review Board ("BRB"), United States Department of Labor, which affirmed the decision of the Administrative Law Judge denying her widow's black lung benefits. Both Petitioner and the Respondent Director, Office of Workers' Compensation Program, United States Department of Labor ("Director"), argue that the Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") and the BRB erroneously interpreted the Black Lung Benefits Act, 30 U.S.C. §§ 901-945 (1986), and 20 C.F.R. § 718.205(c)(2) (1992), the implementing regulation, and urge this Court to adopt the less stringent standard which has been adopted by the Third, Fourth, and Seventh Circuit Courts of Appeals. We agree with Petitioner and Respondent Director, reverse the BRB, and remand the case directing the award of widow's benefits to Petitioner.
