We reverse the ruling of the district court. It is not enough for an applicant to show he has a severe impairment that is one of the listed impairments to find him per se disabled. An applicant must show that his impairment meets or equals the severity and durational requirements for the applicable impairment. Key v. Heckler, 754 F.2d 1545, 1549-50 (9th Cir.1985).
