CONCLUSION

We hold that the “severity regulation,” 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(c) (1985), is inconsistent with the provisions of the Social Security Act and is therefore invalid. Accordingly, we reverse the decision of the district court and remand with instructions that the Secretary reevaluate Yuckert’s claim without reference to the severity regulation, 20 C.F.R. § 404.1520(c) (1985).
