Early payment of deferred pension on grounds of ill-health

If you are a deferred member of this scheme and you become permanently medically unfit for any regular employment, any deferred pension to which you are entitled will be paid to you with effect from the earlier of the date on which you asked your Police Pension Authority to refer the questions to the selected medical practitioner or the date on which your Police Pension Authority referred those question on its own initiative. This will be without actuarial reduction.
