(4) If a contributor is on leave of absence through illness, either without pay or at less than full pay, the Board may, upon his or her application, permit the contributions falling due during his or her absence to be paid by him or her in smaller sums, and at periods, as the Board approves. (5) Any amounts other than contributions payable to the Board by a contributor are to— (a) be deducted from his or her salary at each payment of salary; and (b) be paid to the Board, without deduction for postage, forwarding or exchange. (6) A contributor who is on leave of absence, with or without pay (other than a contributor to whom subsection (4) applies) who fails to pay his or her contributions on the due date is not if any contribution remains outstanding for a period of more than 3 months, entitled to any benefit under this or any other Act until— (a) his or her contributions are fully paid; or (b) he or she resumes duty. (7) If, on the date on which the Superannuation (Amendment) Act 1984 came into operation, a contributor was on leave of absence without pay (except leave on the grounds of ill-health) and the Board permitted him or her to pay all his or her contributions due but unpaid at that date in respect of the leave up to that date in smaller sums and at periods as the Board determined, section 49 applies to the contributor in respect of leave of absence without pay after that date as if he or she had commenced the leave on that date (or where he or she has before that date paid contributions in respect of the leave up to a later date, as if he or she had commenced the leave on that later date).
