 (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 3-114.1)Sec. 3-114.1.     Disability pension - Line of duty.(a) If a police officer as the result of sickness, accident or injury  incurred in or resulting from the performance of an act of duty, is found to be  physically or mentally disabled for service in the police department, so as to  render necessary his or her suspension or retirement from the police service,  the police officer shall be entitled to a disability retirement pension equal  to the greatest of (1) 65% of the salary attached to the rank on the  police force held by the officer at the date of suspension of duty or  retirement, (2) the retirement pension that the police officer would be  eligible to receive if he or she retired (but not including any automatic  annual increase in that retirement pension), or (3) the pension provided  under subsection (d), if applicable.A police officer shall be considered "on duty" while on any assignment  approved by the chief of the police department of the municipality he or she  serves, whether the assignment is within or outside the municipality.(b) If a police officer on disability pension dies while still disabled,  the disability pension shall continue to be paid to his or her survivors in the  sequence provided in Section 3-112.(c) From and after July 1, 1987, any pension payable under this  Section shall be at least $400 per month, without regard to the fact that  the disability or death of the police officer occurred prior to that date.  If the minimum pension established in Section 3-113.1 is greater than the  minimum provided in this Section, the Section 3-113.1 minimum controls.(d) A disabled police officer who (1) is receiving a pension under this  Section  on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly, (2)  files with the Fund, within 30 days after that effective date and annually  thereafter while the pension remains payable, a written application for the  benefits of this subsection, including an affidavit stating that the applicant  has not earned any income from gainful employment during the most recently  concluded tax year and a copy of his or her most recent Illinois income tax  return, (3) has service credit in the Fund for at least 7 years of active duty,  and (4) has been receiving the pension under this Section for a period which,  when added to the officer's total service credit in the Fund, equals at least  20 years, shall be eligible to receive an annual noncompounded increase in his  or her pension under this Section, equal to 3% of the original pension.The Fund may take appropriate steps to verify the applicant's disability  and earnings status, and for this purpose may request from the Department of  Revenue a certified copy of the applicant's Illinois income tax return for any  year for which a benefit under this Section is payable or has been paid.The annual increase shall accrue on each anniversary of the initial pension  payment date, for so long as the pension remains payable to the disabled police  officer and the required annual application is made, except that the annual  increases under this subsection shall cease if the disabled police officer  earns income from gainful employment.  Within 60 days after accepting an  initial application under this subsection, the Fund shall pay to the disabled  police officer, in a lump sum without interest, the amounts resulting from the  annual increases that have accrued retroactively.This subsection is not limited to persons in active service on or after its  effective date, but it applies only to a pension that is payable under this  Section to a disabled police officer (rather than a survivor).  Upon the death  of the disabled police officer, the annuity payable under this Section to his  or her survivors shall include any annual increases previously received, but no  additional increases shall accrue under this subsection.
