Tbe plain *311 tiff claims to have notified tbe employer on 7 August, 1931, of tbe recurrence of tbe disability caused by tbe injury on 14 May, 1930. Tbe first notice of a recurrence of disability was filed witb tbe Industrial Commission on 2 May, 1932, or nearly two years after tbe final receipt was signed by tbe plaintiff.” Section 46 of tbe Workmen’s Compensation Act, C. S., 8081 (bbb), provides tbat “no.review shall be made after twelve months from the date of tbe last payment of compensation pursuant to an award under this chapter.” There was competent evidence to support tbe findings of tbe Industrial Commission tbat tbe last payment of compensation was made on 19 July, 1930.
