Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge ROBINSON.
SPOTTSWOOD W. ROBINSON, III, Circuit Judge:
This appeal stems from a judgment of the District Court dismissing appellant’s action for an injunction permanently barring the Department of Defense from terminating medical benefits for his daughter. We find that the decision to discontinue these benefits rests wholly upon departmental regulations which as interpreted are fatally at odds with the statutory directive they purport to implement. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment and instruct the District Court to issue the injunction sought.
