83A Temporary pensions (1) If the Board determines that a contributor who has applied to retire on the grounds of disability may substantially recover from a recurring injury or illness, the Board may determine that he or she be given the pension to which he or she would have been entitled had he or she retired on the ground of disability for a limited period only of up to 2 years. (2) The Board may determine that any pension payable under this section is to be conditional upon the contributor undertaking an approved course of training or education or participating in any rehabilitation program at the expense of the Board. (3) If a person has been granted a pension under this section, he or she may not retire on the grounds of that disability but in all other respects this Act as it relates to disability pensioners applies. (4) The eligibility of the pensioner must be reviewed at intervals not exceeding 6 months as determined by the Board. (5) If the pensioner does not comply with this section, the pension ceases to be payable as long as he or she continues in default. (6) If the pensioner continues in default for a period of 12 months, the Board must cancel the pension. S. 83B inserted by No. 40/2010 s. 94.
