(A) Upon total and permanent disability of a member as the result of any cause other than occupational disability, if a member shall have rendered at least 10 years of total service, he shall be entitled to a disability retirement annuity. The amount of such annuity shall be equal to 2½% of average salary, as defined in § 36.086, for each full year of total service, subject to a minimum payment of 25% of such average salary, and a maximum payment of 50% of average salary. Payment of this annuity shall be made during disability of the member. Any member who retired prior to June 21, 1974 shall receive an increase of $10 per month for each year of part thereof of retirement prior to June 21, 1974 with a maximum increase of $170 per month. Upon death of the member, if an eligible widow or minor children survive, such survivors shall be entitled to the regular annuity provided under § 36.095.
(B) Any annuity for nonoccupational disability shall begin to accrue upon the expiration of 90 days following the commencement of disability provided that if the member is receiving salary for sick leave for a period of more than 90 days, payment shall accrue from the date such salary ceases. If written application for such annuity shall not have been filed with the Board prior to the expiration of 90 days from the date of disability, the annuity shall begin to accrue from the date the application shall be filed but not prior to the expiration of 90 days from the date of disability, nor in any event prior to the time when salary payments to the employee shall have ceased.
