16 Medical examination of officers receiving an invalidity benefit in the form of a pension

(1) If a transferred pensioner, or a former transferred contributor, who has retired from employment with an employer on account of permanent physical or mental incapacity is receiving an invalidity benefit in the form of a pension, the pensioner or former contributor is required to submit to a medical examination as and when specified by the SAS Board.

(2) If the pensioner or former contributor fails to comply with that requirement within the period allowed by the SAS Board, the pension ceases to be payable until the requirement is complied with.

(3) If at any time the SAS Board believes that the health of the pensioner or former contributor has improved to such an extent as to enable the pensioner or former contributor to resume his or her duties as an employee, the employer from whose service the pensioner or former contributor was retired may, at the request or on the advice of the SAS Board, require the pensioner or former contributor—

(a) to resume those duties, or

(b) to undertake other duties at a salary not less than the salary currently payable to employees with the same classification and the same length of service as the pensioner or former contributor had when he or she was retired.

(4) On the making of such a requirement, any pension payable to the pensioner or former contributor ceases to be payable.

(5) If the pensioner or former contributor, having resumed or undertaken duties in accordance with a requirement under subclause (2), suffers a recurrence of his or her physical or mental incapacity, the pensioner or former contributor is again entitled to receive his or her pension, together with any increase in that pension to which he or she would be entitled as a result of additional service.
