1Opinion of the Court
HENLEY, Senior Circuit Judge.
Wallis D. Cornelia appeals from the district court’s denial of his application for attorneys’ fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. § 2412; 5 U.S.C. § 504 (Supp.1982). The district court denied the application because (1) the Social Security Administration was “substantially justified” in denying Cornelia disability benefits and, in the alternative, (2) Cornelia did not “incur” any attorneys’ fees within the meaning of the EAJA since he was represented by a pro bono organization. We reverse the judgment of the district court.
