Appellate Court Case Fourth District, March 2010: Jerald Culp vs Susan Culp

Sylvia Bell vs the Retirement Board of the Firemen's Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago (James L. Dobrovolny furnished brief: plaintiffs, widows of Chicago firefighters whose husbands died while on permanent disability from injuries sustained in line of duty, sought administrative review of Retirement Board decision denying retroactive benefits. Court properly found that Section 6-140 of Pension Code requires payment of benefits to widows retroactive to date of husbands' deaths. Circuit court properly awarded post judgment interest at 9%, but improperly awarded prejudgment interest. Board's notice informing Plaintiffs of its adverse decision did not comply with procedural due process, because it advised Plaintiffs that it was not necessary for them to attend hearing and that they did not need an attorney; thus, notice did not trigger 35-day limit for filing for administrative review.)
