 (1) CSC may, by notice in writing given to a person in receipt of an invalidity pension, require him or her:
 (a) to submit himself or herself for medical examination by a legally qualified medical practitioner at a time and place specified in the notice; or
 (b) to furnish in writing to CSC, within such period as is specified in the notice, such information as is required by the notice with respect to any employment (whether as an employee or on his or her own account) in which he or she has been engaged during such period as is specified in the notice.
 (2) A notice under subrule (1) must set out the effect of subrule (3).
 (3) Where a person fails to comply with a notice given under subrule (1) and CSC is not satisfied that there was a reasonable excuse for the failure, CSC may, by notice in writing given to the person, suspend the person's invalidity pension with effect from a day determined by CSC, being a day not earlier than:

 (b) in a case where the first‑mentioned notice required the person to furnish information within a period specified in the notice—the day next following the end of that period.
 (4) A notice to a person under subrule (3) must set out the effect of subrules (7), (9) and (10).
 (5) An invalidity pension is not payable in respect of a period during which a suspension under subrule (3) is in force.
 (6) Where:
 (a) the invalidity pension of a person is suspended under subrule (3); and
 (b) CSC, having regard to such matters as it considers relevant, is of the opinion that the suspension should be revoked;
CSC may, by notice in writing given to the person, revoke the suspension with effect from a day determined by CSC, being a day not later than the day on which the notice is given.
 (7) Without limiting subrule (6), where the invalidity pension of a person is suspended under subrule (3), the person may, by notice in writing given to CSC, request CSC to revoke the suspension and, where such a request is made, CSC must, by notice in writing given to the person:
 (a) if the invalidity pension has been suspended by virtue of the relevant person's having failed to comply with a notice requiring the person to submit to a medical examination—require the person to submit to a medical examination by a medical practitioner
