§ 21175 Disability Retirement Medical Exams

• •If you get disability retirement money but refuse a medical check-up, your pension part can be stopped until you agree.
• •If you keep refusing for a whole year, your disability retirement money might be taken away completely.

A person gets disability retirement money because they can't work due to an injury. The retirement system asks them to go to a doctor for a check-up to see if they are still disabled.

If the person says no to the check-up, their pension money can be stopped until they agree to go. If they keep saying no for a year, they might lose all their disability retirement money.
