If a beneficiary has ceased to have a disability of a degree of severity that is classified as any disability grade, payment of an employees' disability pension is suspended during the period of time in which the beneficiary does not have that disability; provided, however, that this does not apply if the beneficiary of an employees' disability pension has contracted an illness or suffered an injury and was an insured on the day of initial examination for that injury or illness, the beneficiary has other disabilities caused by that injury or illness, and, during the period after the day of disability assessment for the relevant injury or illness up to the day before the date on which the beneficiary reaches the age of 65, the degree of severity of the disabilities stemming from a combination of the disability constituting the grounds for payment of the relevant employees' disability pension and the other disability (or, if there are two or more other disabilities, the disability combined with all other disabilities) is classified as Grade 1 or Grade 2 of the disability grades.
The provisions of Article 46, paragraph (6) apply mutatis mutandis to the employees' disability pension, and the provisions of the proviso to Article 47, paragraph (1) apply mutatis mutandis to a case under the proviso to the preceding paragraph.
