By decision of the director, taken after consulting the doctor appointed by the Foundation, the period of one month for making application and the six months' limit specified in the first subparagraph shall not apply where the person concerned is suffering from a serious or protracted illness which he contracted during his employment and of which he notified the Centre before the end of the six months' period specified in the preceding subparagraph, provided that the person concerned undergoes a medical examination arranged by the Foundation.'
Direktor po posvetovanju z zdravnikom, ki ga imenuje fundacija, lahko odloči, da se obdobje enega meseca za vložitev prošnje in šestmesečni rok iz prvega pododstavka ne upoštevata, če ima oseba hudo ali dolgotrajno bolezen, ki jo je dobila med zaposlitvijo in o kateri je obvestila center pred iztekom šestmesečnega obdobja, opredeljenega v prejšnjem pododstavku, če opravi zdravniški pregled, ki ga pripravi fundacija.";
