A member shall be required to undergo two (2) medical examinations to be performed and submitted by at least two (2) licensed and practicing physicians selected by the Board certifying that the member is totally and likely to be permanently disabled for the future performance of the duties of any assigned position in the service of the government. If upon consideration of the report of such physicians, the medical consultant and such other evidence as shall have been presented to it by the member, or others interested therein, the Board finds the member to be totally and permanently disabled, it shall grant him a disability retirement annuity upon written certification that the member has been separated from the service of the employer because of total disability of such nature as to reasonably prevent further service for the employer, and as a consequence is not entitled to compensation from the government.
