Defence Forces Retirement Benefits Act 1948

This section applies to a member who becomes entitled to benefit by virtue of subsection 51(1) of this Act and who, at the time he becomes so entitled, is an employee for the purposes of the Superannuation Act 1922‑1968 whose liability to make contributions to the Superannuation Fund is deferred by virtue of section 35A of that Act or is a person whose entitlement to a pension under that Act is suspended by force of subsection 48C(1) of that Act.

Notwithstanding anything contained in section 52, the invalidity benefit to which a person to whom this section applies is entitled is, in addition to a refund under section 60 of the amount of contributions paid by him under this Act, the gratuity to which he would have been entitled if:

this section had not applied to him; and

he had been classified as Class C under subsection 51(2).
