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 ten years, and

(b)

is under state pensionable age,

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

(i)

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

(ii)

of undertaking regular employment.

(2)

The authority must, 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).
