- Court
- District Court
The Court accepted Dr Turner's medical assessment as having properly considered the appellant's mobility limits and found both the occupational and medical assessments complied with statutory requirements under ss107 and 108; vocational independence focuses on capacity for other work-types and is not concerned with business losses or ability to secure employment, therefore the respondent's decision was correct and is confirmed.
