1 6 member shall be retired by the system, not less than thirty
1 7 and not more than ninety days next following the date of
1 8 filing the application, on an ordinary disability retirement
1 9 allowance, if the medical board after a medical examination of

1 20 disability which would not exist, but for a medical condition

1 22 A member who is denied a benefit under this subsection, by
1 23 reason of a finding by the medical board that the member is
1 24 not mentally or physically incapacitated for the further
1 25 performance of duty, shall be entitled to be restored to
1 26 active service in the same position held immediately prior to
1 27 the application for disability benefits.

1 31 an ordinary disability retirement allowance, and receive the
1 32 allowance if otherwise qualified, without the authorization or
1 33 approval of the chief of the police or fire department
1 34 employing the member.
