that he is physically or otherwise incapacitated for service, but that such incapacity
will, in all reasonable probability, continue permanently. If an employee claims that such disability exists, the employer shall appoint a
physician of skill and repute in his profession and resident of this State, who shall
examine the employee. The physician shall make a report of the employee's physical condition or other
disability, and if a disability exists, whether in all reasonable probability it will
continue permanently, and does and will continue to prevent the employee from giving
service to his employer in the performance of his duties. Any person who is retired for permanent and total disability hereunder, and who
is under the age of 65 years, shall undergo an annual medical examination by a physician
or physicians designated by the county, municipality or school district paying pension
benefits based upon disability to such person. If upon examination it is determined that such disability no longer exists, the
benefits payable hereunder for disability shall cease. If a person receiving pension benefits based upon disability refuses to submit to
examination, the county, municipality or school district paying such benefits shall
discontinue same until such person submits to physical examination. (e) The Social Security system shall not be deemed a retirement system for the purposes
of determining eligibility to a pension under this act. 1
