If any nonduty disability beneficiary who has not attained the age of sixty years refuses to submit to a medical examination, his or her nonduty disability pension may be discontinued until his or her withdrawal of such refusal, and if his or her refusal continues for one year, all rights in and to such pension may be revoked by the retirement board.
4. If one or more members of the medical board certify to the retirement board that a nonduty disability beneficiary is able to perform the full and unrestricted duties of a police officer, and if the retirement board concurs in the report, then such beneficiary's nonduty disability pension shall cease.
