Paragraph 1 Review of ill-health pension

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

So long as a person—

(a)

has been in receipt of an ill–health pension for less than 10 years, and

(b)

is under state pensionable age,

the authority shall consider, at such intervals as they think proper, whether he has become capable—

(i)

of performing any duty appropriate to the role from which he retired on grounds of ill–health, and

(ii)

of undertaking regular employment.

(2)

The authority shall, at such intervals as they think proper, consider in relation to a person whose deferred pension is being paid early by virtue of rule 3(4) of Part 3 (early payment of deferred pension on permanent disablement), the same matters as they are required to consider in relation to persons of the description mentioned in paragraph (1).
