7. (1) A reference in this Act to the retirement of an eligible employee on
the ground of invalidity shall be read as a reference to his having been
retired, or his services having been otherwise terminated, on the ground of
physical or mental incapacity to perform his duties.

(2) Where a person has, before attaining his maximum retiring age, ceased to
be an eligible employee otherwise than by reason of death or by reason of his
having been retired, or his services having been otherwise terminated, on the
ground of physical or mental incapacity to perform his duties, but the
Commissioner is satisfied that, at the time he ceased to be an eligible
employee, he was, by reason of physical or mental incapacity, unfit to perform
his duties, the Commissioner may direct that the person shall, for the
purposes of this Act, be deemed to have been retired on the ground of that
physical or mental incapacity.
