  "text": "1. A member of the temporary staff who is suffering from total invalidity and who, for that reason, is obliged to suspend employment with the Agency shall be entitled, for as long as the invalidity lasts, to an invalidity allowance, the amount of which shall be determined as follows.\nIf a member of the temporary staff, recipient of an invalidity allowance, reaches the age of 66, the general rules on the severance grant shall be applied. The amount of the severance grant shall be based on the salary for the grade and step occupied by the member of temporary staff when he became an invalid.\n2. The invalidity allowance shall be 70 % of the final basic salary of the member of the temporary staff. However, it shall not be less than the minimum subsistence figure, i.e. the basic salary of a member of temporary staff of the Union at the first step of Grade 1. The invalidity allowance shall be subject to contributions to the pension scheme, calculated on the basis of that allowance.\n3. Where the invalidity of the member of the temporary staff arises from an accident in the course of or in connection with the performance of his duties, from an occupational disease, from a public-spirited act or from risking life and limb to save another human being, the invalidity allowance shall not be less than 120 % of the minimum subsistence figure. In such cases the pension contributions shall be borne by the budget of the Agency.\n4. In the case of invalidity deliberately brought about by the member of the temporary staff, the AACC may decide that he should receive only the grant provided for in Article 86.\n5. Persons entitled to an invalidity allowance shall also be entitled to the family allowances determined in accordance with Article 60(3); in accordance with Annex IV, the household allowance shall be determined on the basis of the recipient's allowance.",
