Regulation 110 Review of lower tier ill-health pension
This regulation applies in relation to a person (P) who—
is receiving payment of a lower tier ill-health pension but not an enhanced upper tier ill-health pension; and
has not reached normal pension age under this scheme.
The scheme manager may periodically review whether P's medical unfitness has ceased or significantly worsened.
A periodic review under paragraph (2) may be carried out at any time the scheme manager in its discretion determines.
The scheme manager must carry out a review as to whether P's medical unfitness has ceased or significantly worsened if the scheme manager is notified that P's medical unfitness has worsened.
In carrying out a review under paragraph (2) or (4), the scheme manager must refer the questions in 117(2) (referral of medical questions for purpose of a review: lower tier ill-health pension) to a selected medical practitioner for decision.
In this regulation, “medical unfitness” means inability occasioned by infirmity of mind or body to perform the ordinary duties of a member of the police force.
