19    pension in January of each year thereafter.
20        (b)  The monthly pension of a police officer who  retired

25    pension in January of each year thereafter.
26        (e)  Notwithstanding the provisions  of  subsection  (a),
27    upon  the  first  day  of  the  month following (1) the first
28    anniversary of the date of retirement, or (2) the  attainment
29    of  age 55, or (3) July 1, 1987, whichever occurs latest, the
30    monthly pension of a police officer who retired on  or  after
31    January 1, 1977 and on or before January 1, 1986, and did not
32    receive an increase under subsection (a) before July 1, 1987,

 9    this Section shall be calculated  as  3%  of  the  amount  of
10    pension  payable  at  the time of the increase, including any
11    increases previously granted under this Section, rather  than
12    3% of the originally granted pension amount.  Section 1-103.1
13    does not apply to this subsection (f).
