The application is dismissed because the social security scheme expressly allocates medical determination of 'severely disabled' to medical practitioners and the independent Medical Assessment Board; the Director and the Appeal Board acted within the Scheme by relying on those medical determinations and did not unlawfully delegate, fetter discretion or fail to take relevant considerations within their allocated functions.
