29 Effect of change of invalidity classification on pension and preserved benefit

(1) Where a person who is classified as Class A or Class B is reclassified as Class C: (a) the pension payable to him or her under rule 27 or 28 is cancelled; and (b) there is applicable to him or her a preserved benefit of the amount of his or her employer benefit. (2) If a person referred to in subrule (1) is subsequently reclassified as Class A or Class B: (a) the preserved benefit referred to in that subrule ceases to be applicable to him or her; and (b) a pension is payable to him or her in accordance with rule 27 or 28, as the case may be, from the date specified under rule 23 by CSC or the Committee, as the case may be, as the date from which the classification has effect. (3) Where a person referred to in subrule (2) was, while classified as Class C, paid, under paragraph 51(1)(e) or (f), part of the employer benefit included in his or her preserved benefit, the rate of pension payable to the person in accordance with that subrule is reduced in such manner as CSC approves, having regard to the amount of employer benefit so paid to the person.
