(a) Benefits provided under this section are
subject to section 2.5 of this chapter.
(b) This subsection applies to participants who were disabled before
July 1, 1987. Any participant eligible to receive disability benefits

allowance payable in equal monthly installments and equal to a
percentage of his average annual salary determined in accordance with
the provisions of section 10(a) of this chapter (relating to normal
retirement).

whichever occurs first. However, after becoming forty-five (45) years
of age, a participant receiving a disability benefit may request that the
disability benefit payments cease and that any retirement benefit for
which the participant is eligible begin.
