Partial invalidity retirement

A partial invalidity pension is a form of income maintenance. It is paid as a pension when your salary is reduced permanently because of a medical condition.

When a partial invalidity pension is not payable

You will not be paid partial invalidity pension if:

  • you have reached your maximum retiring age (usually age 65)
  • you have less than eight years contributory membership and the condition causing your reduction in salary is related to a condition listed in a Benefit Classification Certificate (BCC)
  • your medical condition has been caused by wilful action on your part with a view to getting an invalidity pension
  • you cease to be a member of the CSS; or
  • you are receiving income maintenance through workers’ compensation.
