846 LAWS OB" MARYLAND. [CH. 349

ALLOWANCE ON SPECIAL DISABILITY RETIREMENT

(6) Upon retirement for special disability a member shall
receive a service retirement allowance if he has attained the
age of 55; otherwise he shall receive a special disability retire-
ment allowance which shall consist of:

(a) an annuity which shall be the actuarial equivalent of
his accumulated contributions at the time of his retirement;
and

(b) a pension of fifty per centum of his average final com-
pensation, but in no event shall his total special disability
retirement allowance exceed his average final compensation.

RE-EXAMINATION OF BENEFICIARIES RETIRED ON ACCOUNT
OF DISABILITY

(7) (a) Once each year during the first five years follow-
ing the retirement of a member on a disability retirement
allowance, and once in every three-year period thereafter, the
Board of Trustees may, and upon his application shall, re-
quire any disability beneficiary who has not yet attained the
age of 55 to undergo a medical examination, such examina-
tion, to be made at the place of residence of such beneficiary
or other place mutually agreed upon, by the Medical Board.
Should any disability beneficiary who has not yet attained
the age of 55 refuse to submit to such medical examination,
his allowance may be discontinued until his withdrawal of
such refusal, and should his refusal continue for one year,
all his rights in and to his pension may be revoked by the
Board of Trustees.

(b) Should the Medical Board report and certify to the
Board of Trustees that any disability beneficiary is engaged
in or is able to engage in a gainful occupation paying more
than the difference between his retirement allowance and his
average final compensation and should the Board of Trustees
concur in such report, then the amount of his pension shall
be reduced to an amount which, together with his annuity
and the amount earnable by him, shall equal the amount of
his average final compensation. Should his earning capacity
be later changed, the amount of his pension may be further
modified, provided that the new pension shall not exceed the
amount of the pension originally granted nor an amount
which, when added to the amount earnable by the beneficiary
together with his annuity, equals the amount of his average
final compensation. A beneficiary restored to active service
at a salary less than the average final compensation upon
the basis of which he was retired shall not become a member
