Any member of the police department receiving injury or becoming disabled while in the discharge of police duties and by reason of, or as a consequence of, the performance of such duties, so as to prevent him from attending to his duties as such member of the police department, shall, for the space of 12 months, provided his disability shall last that time, or for such portion of 12 months as such disability shall continue, receive his usual salary.
The fact of such disability and its duration shall be certified to by a physician designated by the administrator of the medical services section, or by the production of such other evidence as shall be satisfactory to the board. Provided, however, that no member of the police department who is on the pension roll, or who is receiving any benefit from the pension fund by reason of any such disability or injury, shall be entitled to receive any part of his salary during such time as he shall remain on such pension roll or receive any benefit from such pension fund. The word "pension" shall be understood as including a benefit or annuity from the annuity and benefit fund.
