131 Maintaining eligibility for catastrophic or exceptional extension payments

(1) The Commissioner may decide to cease making catastrophic or exceptional extension payments to an incapacitated police officer if—

(a) the Commissioner is satisfied the police officer is no longer totally incapacitated for any work, whether or not as a police officer and whether or not for payment, because of the police officer’s on duty injury (the incapacitating injury), or

(b) the police officer fails to comply with a notice under subsection (2).

(2) The Commissioner may, at any time by written notice given to an incapacitated police officer who is receiving catastrophic or exceptional extension payments, require the police officer to give the Commissioner information relating to the police officer’s injury or eligibility for or receipt of catastrophic or exceptional extension payments.

(3) For subsection (1)(a), the Commissioner must disregard the impact on the police officer’s capacity of any injuries or illnesses that occur after, and are unrelated to, the incapacitating injury.
