A. Once each year during the first five years following retirement and once in every three-year period thereafter the board of trustees may, or upon application of the beneficiary shall, require any disability beneficiary who has not yet attained the normal service retirement age to undergo a medical examination by a physician or physicians designated by the medical board, to be made at the place of residence of said beneficiary or some other place mutually agreed upon. Should any such disability beneficiary refuse to submit to such medical examination, his retirement allowance may be discontinued until the withdrawal of his refusal, and should his refusal continue for one year, all his rights in and to his pensions may be revoked by the board of trustees.
B. Should a disability beneficiary under the normal service retirement age be restored to active service at a compensation not less than his average final compensation, his retirement allowance shall cease, he shall again become a member of the retirement system, and he shall contribute thereafter at the prevailing rate. Any such prior service on the basis of which his service was computed at the time of his retirement shall be restored to full force and effect, and in addition, upon his subsequent retirement he shall be credited with all his service as a member; but should he be restored to active service on or after the attainment of the age of fifty years his pension upon subsequent retirement shall not exceed the sum of the pension which he was receiving immediately prior to his last restoration and the pension that he would have received on account of his service since his last restoration had he entered service at that time as a new entrant.
