A: Invalidity Pension is a monthly cash benefit paid to a member of the Scheme who can no longer work due to a disease, an illness or a disablement of a permanent nature. Under Act 766, where the member has contributed for a period of not less than 180 months, the member shall be entitled to a pension right (or pension credit) equivalent to that of the Old-age retirement pension.  

PENSION RIGHT = 0.50 + [Total number of months of contributions - 240] x 0.00125 

Where the member does not satisfy the minimum contribution period of 180 months the member shall be given a pension right of 37.5% or 0.375 (i.e. the minimum pension right).
