2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The principles enunciated in Parish were not applied to the facts of this case. The Secretary erroneously relied on Wilcox’s activities during the periods of remission as evidence of his substantial gainful employment. The record, when viewed in light of the well-reasoned principles established in Parish , lead us to conclude that Wilcox, who suffered from a progressively debilitating disease, was disabled by multiple sclerosis effective February 24,1986.”
