43. Should a further accident occur to an employee already receiv-
ing payment under this Article for a disability, or who has been previously
the recipient of a lump sum payment under this Article, his future com-
pensation shall be adjusted according to the other provisions of this Arti-
cle, and with regard to the combined effect of his injuries and his past
receipt of compensation under this Article. In case of the remarriage of
a dependent widow of a deceased employee, without dependent children
at the time of the remarriage, she shall receive compensation for one year
after the date of her remarriage, provided there is so much of the com-
pensation previously awarded her outstanding. No widow or widower shall
receive any benefits under this Article where the marriage shall have taken
place after the person entitled to benefits hereunder shall have been in-
jured, provided there are no dependent children.
If aggravation, diminution or termination or disability takes place
or be discovered after the rate of compensation shall have been established
or compensation terminated in any case, the Commission may, upon the
application of any party in interest or upon its own motion, readjust for
future application the rate of compensation in accordance with rules in
this section provided, or in a proper case, terminate the payments.
