Keeling v. Board of Trustees of the Forest Park Police Pension Fund

(Court opinion corrected 2/7/18.) Plaintiff filed an application for a line-of-duty disability pension when he was no longer a police officer. Although Plaintiff filed an information request form while still an officer, that form was not an application for disability pension. Thus, Police Pension Fund Board properly found that it lacked jurisdiction over application for line-of-duty disability pension. Even if Plaintiff subjectively misunderstood what needed to be done to preserve his claim, no affirmative act of Board caused that misunderstand and doctrine of equitable estoppel did not apply. (FITZGERALD SMITH and HOWSE, concurring.)
