The petitioner seeks review of the decision of the Benefits Review Board denying his claim for black lung benefits.

The Director now moves for a remand for the payment of benefits.

The motion to remand is GRANTED, and the decision of the Benefits Review [736]*736Board is vacated and this case is remanded for an award of benefits.
