Article 36Suspension of Payment

②Payment of a disability basic pension is suspended, while the person entitled to receive it ceases to be in a state of disability to the extent of falling under the disability grade, for the period the person is not in that state of disability. However, this does not apply where a person entitled to receive a disability basic pension whose payment has been suspended has suffered an illness or been injured, and fell under any of the items of Article 30, paragraph (1) on the date of first medical examination relating to that injury or illness, and is, because of that injury or illness, in a state of other disability, and, during the period from the disability recognition date relating to that injury or illness until the day preceding the day of reaching 65 years of age, the degree of disability obtained by combining the disability that was the ground for payment of that disability basic pension with the other disability (or, where there are two or more other disabilities, the disability obtained by combining all of the other disabilities) has come to fall under the disability grade.

③The provisions of the proviso to Article 30, paragraph (1) apply mutatis mutandis to the case referred to in the proviso to the preceding paragraph.
