OPINION
SUTIN, Judge:
{1} The LaFond application for welfare assistance (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) was denied because his 1969 Chevrolet Station Wagon, valued at approximately $1,600, exceeded the limit of $750 wholesale value for welfare assistance. H.S.S. Reg. 221.832.
{2} The Station Wagon was subject to a loan in excess of its value and LaFond had no equity available.
{3} This case is controlled by Trujillo v. Health and Social Services Department of the State of New Mexico, 84 N.M. 58, 499 P.2d 376 (Ct. App.), decided June 30, 1972.
{4} The order of the Department is reversed, and the cause is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
