Description
Per Curiam. The Secretary of Health and Human Services has determined that, as a matter of law, a widow is unable to engage in "any gainful activity," the standard which must be met by one seeking widows disability benefits, only if she can prove, among other things, that she suffers from a disability identical or medically equivalent to certain designated impairments listed in regulations promulgated by the Secretary. Gertrude Reynolds, an unsuccessful claimant for widows benefits, disputes the validity of the Secretarys regulations. She argues, principally, that the regulations bear no rational relationship to the statutory standard because absence of a given impairment or its equivalent is not conclusive proof that one is not disabled from engaging in some gainful activity. Finding the Secretarys regulations valid, and their application to the facts of Reynolds case supported by substantial evidence, we affirm.
