(e) Any retired member who is eligible to receive the increased pension under the provisions of this section may, at any time, waive his right thereto by filing a written notice of waiver with the pension commission. Such waiver may be withdrawn at any time and upon such withdrawal the increase in the pension shall commence with the pension payment for the next following month.  L.1966, c. 210, s. 10.
