The Transport Act 2000 (Civil Aviation Authority Pension Scheme) Order 2001

22.1—(a) A Member shall furnish evidence of health at such times and in such form as the Trustees require for the purposes of the CAA Section. If such evidence is not furnished, or is not acceptable to the Trustees for the purposes of the CAA Section, the Trustees may, until the Member produces evidence acceptable to the Trustees for the purposes of the CAA Section and except as otherwise specifically provided in these CAA Rules, withhold the benefits which would otherwise be payable on his death or incapacity or modify them in such manner as they consider appropriate.

(b) Any medical examination or other medical opinion required for the purposes of the CAA Section shall if practicable be conducted or given by a Medical Adviser (or, if this is not practicable, by a medical practitioner instructed by such Medical Adviser) and such person’s report shall be available to the Member’s doctor. If the Member’s doctor informs the Trustees that he is dissatisfied with such report an examination shall be conducted by a duly qualified medical practitioner nominated for the purpose by the Trustees after consultation with the Member’s doctor and the Medical Adviser. The report of such nominated medical practitioner shall be regarded as conclusive for the purposes of the CAA Section.

(c) The charges and expenses of the examination and report or opinion of any medical practitioner instructed by the Medical Adviser or nominated by the Trustees in accordance with this Rule shall be borne by the Member unless either the Employers or the Trustees in their discretion agree to pay such charges and expenses.
