(40 ILCS 5/7-153) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 7-153)
Sec. 7-153.
Total and permanent disability benefits; periodic checks.
The board shall conduct periodic checks to determine if participating
employees who are drawing a total permanent disability benefit remain
totally and permanently disabled. Such checks may consist of periodic
examination by a physician or physicians appointed by the board,
requiring the employee to submit evidence of continuing disability or
absence of gainful employment and such other investigations as the board
may deem appropriate. A written report by a physician appointed by the
board stating that the employee is no longer totally and permanently
disabled shall constitute prima-facie evidence of termination of total
and permanent disability, except as provided in subsection (f) of
Section 7-152.
