Sec. 14. (a) Benefits provided under this section are subject to section 2.5 of this chapter.
(b) This subsection applies to participants who were disabled before July 1, 1987. Any participant eligible to receive disability benefits under section 13 of this chapter is entitled to an annual disability allowance payable in equal monthly installments and equal to a percentage of his average annual salary determined in accordance with the provisions of section 10(a) of this chapter (relating to normal retirement).

whichever occurs first. However, after becoming forty-five (45) years of age, a participant receiving a disability benefit may request that the disability benefit payments cease and that any retirement benefit for which the participant is eligible begin.
