PART 5Retirement benefits

CHAPTER 4Ill-health benefits

Review of ill-health award or early payment of retirement pension

77.—(1) Where a member (P) has been in receipt of an ill-health award under regulation 74 (entitlement to lower tier ill-health pension and higher tier ill-health pension) for less than 10 years and is under deferred pension age, the scheme manager must consider, at such intervals as it considers appropriate, whether P has become capable—

(a)of performing any duty appropriate to the role from which P retired on grounds of ill-health; and

(b)of undertaking regular employment.

(2) The scheme manager must consider, at such intervals as it considers appropriate before the member reaches deferred pension age, in relation to a pensioner member who was a deferred member and whose pension is being paid early by virtue of regulation 76 (early payment of retirement pension to a deferred member), whether the member has become capable of undertaking regular employment.
