Disability Retirements. (a) An employee who is totally and permanently disabled or occupationally disabled prior to attaining age 65, and has at least 10 years of credited service, shall be eligible for a disability pension as hereinafter provided. (1) An employee shall be deemed to be totally and permanently disabled if the employee is suffering from a physical or mental impairment, that prevents the employee from engaging in any employment for which the employee is reasonably suited by virtue of the employee's education, training or experience and, that can reasonably be expected to last for the remainder of the employee's lifetime, as established, in part, by a written certificate of a medical doctor licensed to practice in a province of Canada, and which certificate is satisfactory to the Company. (2) Notwithstanding (b)(1) of this Section 3, if an employee was already receiving Total and Permanent Disability retirement benefits as of December 31, 1991, the determination as to whether the employee remains totally and permanently disabled shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Plan in effect at the employee's retirement date. (c) An employee shall be deemed to be occupationally disabled only if not engaged in regular employment or occupation for remuneration or profit and on the basis in part of medical evidence satisfactory to the Company, from a medical doctor licensed to practice in a province of Canada, that the employee is found to be wholly and permanently prevented from engaging in regular employment or occupation with the Company, at the plant or plants where the employee has seniority, for remuneration or profit as a result of bodily injury or disease, but excluding disabilities resulting from service in the armed forces of any country unless the employee becomes occupationally disabled after having accumulated at least 5 years of seniority following separation from service in the armed forces. (d) Any disability pensioner may be required to submit to medical examination at any time during retirement prior to age 65, but not more often than semi-annually, to determine whether the pensioner is eligible for continuance of the disability pension. If on the basis of such examination it is found that the pensioner is no longer disabled or if the pensioner engages in gainful employment, except for purposes of rehabilitation as determined by the Company, the pensioner will be deemed recovered and the pensioner's disability pension will cease. In the event the disability pensioner refuses to submit to medical examination the pension will be discontinued until the pensioner is examined.
