The case should be remanded to the board with directions that it determine under the evidence what disability, if any, the claimant was suffering on [88]*88February 20, 1962, and to make an award therefor under the provisions of Code Ann. § 114-405. The employer and insurance carrier will be entitled to credit on such award for any payments of compensation already made in excess of the amount due the claimant under the original award. Code § 114-415.
