- District Court
The Court concluded the Corporation validly assessed vocational independence: vocational rehabilitation required by the IRP had been completed, a quality check and medical opinion supported capacity for 30 hours/week, the VIMA adequately considered pain and medication and no contrary medical evidence was produced; therefore the decision of 10 April 2012 that the appellant had achieved vocational independence was upheld and the appeal dismissed.
