Description

Claimant Jesse Adams petitions this court to review a final order of the Benefits Review Board (BRB or Board) denying his claim for benefits under the Black Lung Benefits Act (Act), 30 U.S.C. §§ 901-945 (1982).*fn1 Claimant Adams argues that the BRB erred in requiring him to prove that his pneumoconiosis "in and of itself" or "standing alone" caused his totally disabling respiratory or pulmonary impairment. We agree with Adams that application of the Board's standard to a claim such as his, in which the miner has established the existence of employment-related pneumoconiosis and a totally disabling respiratory impairment, is an unduly restrictive reading of the statutory and regulatory language "total disability due to pneumoconiosis" and is thus inconsistent with the beneficial purposes of the Act. Accordingly, we grant the petition for review and reverse the BRB's order.
