accident or disease or any congenital condition, which is or is likely to be a
hindrance or obstacle to his employment, incurs subsequent disability by reason of
a personal injury, for which compensation is required by this article resulting in
permanent partial or permanent total disability that is substantially greater by
reason of the combined effects of the impairment and subsequent injury than that
which would have resulted from the subsequent injury alone, the employer or his
insurance carrier shall be liable only for the compensation payable under this
article for such injury. However, in addition to such compensation to which the
employer or his insurance carrier is liable, and after the completion of payments
therefor provided by this article, the employee shall be entitled to receive and shall
be paid additional compensation from a special fund to be known as the
"Subsequent Injury Fund," created for such purpose, in the manner described
hereafter in this section, it being the intent of this section to make the total
payments to which such employee shall become entitled equal to the compensation
