What do I need to prove the basic elements of my case?

It must be documented that:

  1. Your medical condition occurred or became symptomatic during the time you were employed in an employee/employer relationship with your employer.
  2. You were totally and permanently disabled at the time you terminated  employment; and
  3. You have not been employed with any other employer after such termination.
You are also responsible for having all forms completed by the proper persons and submitted to the Division of Retirement. Questions concerning the filing of this application should be directed to the Disability Determination Section. The Administrator is authorized by law to make investigations and require additional information, as needed, to reach a decision on your application. Failure to thoroughly complete all items may delay the processing of your application.
