1Opinion of the Court

OPINION

RONALD LEE GILMAN, Circuit Judge.

Cheryl S. Brown applied for Social Security disability benefits on the basis that the side effects of the medications she takes to control her hypertension render her incapable of working. Brown’s application was denied in the administrative and judicial proceedings below, but no adjudicator has squarely addressed her primary claim that she is unable to work due to the collateral consequences of her medications. For this reason, we VACATE the judgment of the district court and REMAND the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
