In determining whether a claimant may seek an accidental
disability retirement in the event of a "delayed manifestation
of the disability" more than five years after the traumatic
event, the Board of Trustees must consider the totality of
factors including when the delayed manifestation actually
occurred, why the filing was delayed, and prejudice to the
Public Employees Retirement System.
