Heading: In this case with uncontroverted facts as distinguished from opinions the legislature has provided the answer. Section 411.6(5), Code of Iowa provides:

Text: Accidental disability benefit. Upon application of a member in service or of the chief of the police or fire departments,    any member who has become totally and permanently incapacitated for duty as the natural and proximate result of an injury or disease incurred in or aggravated by the actual performance of duty at some definite time and place,    shall be retired by the    board of trustees, provided, that the medical board shall certify that such member is mentally or physically incapacitated for further performance of duty, that such incapacity is likely to be permanent and that such member should be retired.    Disease under this section shall mean heart disease    and shall be presumed to have been contracted while on active duty as a result of strain   . In the light of this statute there was a service connected disability. It was not necessary for plaintiff to pinpoint any particular event as the cause of her condition.
