The opinion of the Court was delivered by STEIN, J.

This is a workers' compensation case. Petitioner, Lodean Sheffield, worked for respondent Schering Plough Corporation for over twenty years in positions that required repeated bending and lifting. In July 1983, Sheffield ceased work because of a disabling back condition. She did not file a claim for workers' compensation benefits until five and a half years after her back injuries rendered her unable to work.
