8.8.3 Facial disfigurement has to be severe

Section 41 of the 1971 Act does not give any guidance as to what constitutes 'severe' facial disfigurement, essentially it left this difficult and rather subjective judgment to medical practitioners constituted as a 'medical board' for the purposes of the section. See 8.8.4 below.
