31A Persons who could have been medically discharged
For the purposes of this Act, a person is taken to have been medically discharged at a time because of a physical or mental impairment if: (a) the person ceased at that time to be a covered ADF member other than because he or she was medically discharged; and (b) CSC is later satisfied that, at that time, grounds existed on which the person could have been medically discharged because of the physical or mental impairment.
Note: A person affected by a decision of CSC under paragraph (b) may request CSC to reconsider the decision under section 58.
