Sec. 16-149.5.
Automatic increase in disability benefit.
Each
disability benefit payable under Section 16-149, 16-149.1 or 16-149.2 shall
be increased by 7% of the original fixed amount of such benefit on January
1, 1991 or January 1 following the fourth anniversary of the granting of the

However, in the case of a disability retirement annuity granted under
