Description
MACK, Associate Judge: The Police and Firefighters Retirement and Relief Board (the Board) restored disability benefits to an annuitant who had been temporarily above the statutory income limits. We are asked to decide whether the Board should have backdated the annuity payments to the date of eligibility for reestablishment rather than making the reestablished annuity effective only from the later date on which the Board reached its decision. We agree with petitioner Thomas Ridge that the earlier date applies. We hold also that the Board may offset against the reestablished annuity any payments received by the annuitant during what was later recognized as a period of temporary ineligibility. Finally, we hold that the Board's finding of a willful statutory violation was not supported by substantial evidence and, in addition, that the Board failed to give petitioner adequate notice of its threatened action. 1 We reverse.
