- District Court
The respondent's decision determining vocational independence was quashed because the assessment was premature and failed to give sufficient regard to the appellant's non‑working status and rehabilitation evidence indicating a need for graded return; the objective evidence did not establish capacity to sustain 35 or more hours per week in the identified work‑types as of the assessment date.
