Retirement Board of Policemen’s Annuity and Benefit Fund, 114 Ill. 2d 518 (1986), as holding that “a mere inability to comply with treatment does not negate a disability claim.” However, Johnson does not support this statement even as a paraphrased argument.

2025Id. ¶ 20 Here, because the relevant statutory provisions are identical, the appellate court explained that it would ordinarily give them the same interpretation.

2009As we noted in our decision in Reed I, “the Board [might well] be justified in denying Reed a hearing on the issue of ordinary disability benefits.” Reed I, 376 Ill.

2009As we noted in Reed I: “[T]he doctrine of collateral estoppel *** barfs] Reed’s ordinary disability claim if Reed relies on his June 2, 2000, injury in his application for an ordinary disability benefits hearing because the Board has already determined that Reed was not left disabled as a result of that injury. [Citation.] This is especially true [because] *** the standard for proving disability is the same for both duty and ordinary disability benefits.” Reed I, 376 Ill.

2009App. 3d 1039 , 578 N.E.2d 1235 (1991), in support of its position that merely being contingent to the original disability claim does not mean that Barbee’s claim is a “covered claim.” While the specific facts of In re Ancillary Receivership of Ideal Mutual Insurance Co. are distinguishable from the facts of this case, we still find the court’s analysis in that case to be helpful.
