 (1) Subject to subregulation (2), when a contract of employment that a continuing contributor has entered into with the Government of Papua New Guinea is terminated on the ground of his invalidity or his physical or mental incapacity to perform his duties, he is entitled to the full pension for which he was contributing at the time of the termination.
 (2) If the invalidity or incapacity referred to in subregulation (1) is due, in the opinion of the Board, to wilful action on the part of the contributor for the purpose of obtaining pension, he is entitled only to a refund of the contributions paid by him, reduced by:
 (a) the amount of any interest payable by the contributor under regulation 114; and
 (b) the amount of any refund paid or payable to him by virtue of the Superannuation (Papua and New Guinea) Ordinance 1959.
