The pension payable pursuant to section 30 shall be determined in the same manner as the participant's normal retirement benefit, except that his pensionable service and final pensionable earnings shall be determined on his actual date of disability retirement.
If a participant is permanently disabled due to injuries incurred —
whilst in the actual discharge of his duty; and
without his own default,
and as a result of the injury the participant is eligible for disability retirement under section 30 and retires under that section, the participant shall be provided with an additional pension determined in accordance with this section.
The additional disability pension payable to a participant pursuant to this section shall be equal in amount to one-third of the participant's final pensionable earnings, determined as at his disability retirement date.
This section shall not apply in the case of a participant who as a consequence of his injury is entitled to compensation under the Workmen's Compensation Law (1996 Revision).
