EAST HAVEN — A state agency has again denied Mayor Joseph Maturo Jr.'s appeal to have his disability pension payments reinstated.

The agency says that when Maturo was in office previously, his pension was paid in error, raising the possibility he will have to pay back several hundred thousand dollars.

Maturo served as a firefighter in East Haven for about 17 years until he fell and suffered a herniated disc in his back in 1991. He then received disability payments from the Retirement Services Division of the Office of the State Comptroller uninterrupted until November 2011.
