Sec. 14. (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 under section 13 of this chapter is entitled to an annual disability 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).
(c) Payment of disability benefits shall begin with the month next succeeding the month in which the participant is determined to be disabled and shall cease:
(1) with the last payment prior to the participant's death; or
(2) with the last payment before the time the participant is no longer disabled;
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.
(d) If a member receives disability or retirement benefits from another state funded pension fund, he is not entitled to receive disability benefits under this section.
