(a) At least once each year the retirement board may, and upon application shall, require any disability annuitant under the minimum age for service retirement, whether in receipt of an ordinary disability retirement allowance or an accidental disability retirement allowance, to undergo a medical examination, the examination to be made at the place of residence of the annuitant, or other place mutually agreed upon, by a physician or physicians engaged by the retirement board.
