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 NATS Section. If such evidence is not furnished, or is not acceptable to the Trustees for the purposes of the NATS Section, the Trustees may, until the Member produces evidence acceptable to the Trustees for the purposes of the NATS Section and except as otherwise specifically provided in these NATS 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 NATS 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 NATS 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.
22.2 A Member and any other person (or the parent or guardian in the case of a minor) who is or may be entitled to benefit from the NATS Section deriving from such Member’s membership of the NATS Section shall furnish such particulars, including proof of date of birth and where appropriate of marriage, and complete such forms at such times as shall be required by the Trustees for the purposes of the NATS Section. If these particulars are not furnished or are later found to be incorrect, the Trustees may withhold the benefits in respect of the Member or modify them in such manner as they consider appropriate.
22.3 Payment of any benefit under the NATS Section to any person shall be subject to the production by or in respect of that person of evidence of identity and entitlement to benefit and such other evidence and information as the Trustees may require.
22.4 Any notice required to be given under the NATS Section (whether by a Member, the Trustees, an Employer or otherwise) shall be in writing and may be given personally or by sending it through the post to the person for whom it is intended at his registered or last known address whether in the United Kingdom or elsewhere and any notice so sent shall in the absence of evidence that it was received by such person at an earlier date be deemed to have been received on the fourth day after posting.
