The petitioner, a police sergeant, challenged the denial of two applications for performance of duty disability retirement benefits.

The second application (June 2005, incident June 2000) was denied due to failure to file the required notice of accident. Following a combined hearing, both denials were upheld by a Hearing Officer and adopted by the respondent.
