(e) A member aggrieved by the reclassification or termination of disability pension pursuant to subsection (c) or (d) of this section may appeal such decision to the Superior Court within 30 days of the day the decision is mailed.  The appeal shall be on the record, without a trial de novo.  The Court may remand the case to the Board for further proceedings on the record if the Court determines that the record is insufficient for review.  When factual determinations are at issue, the Court's review, in the absence of actual fraud, shall be limited to a determination of whether the Board's decision is supported by substantial evidence in the record.
