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.

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.
