(2) This may be done at any time within six (6) months of termination of the compensation period fixed in the original compensation order or award, upon the commission's own motion or upon the application of any party in interest, on the ground of a change in physical condition or upon proof of erroneous wage rate.

(3) Upon the review, the commission may make an order or award terminating, continuing, decreasing, or increasing for the future the compensation previously awarded, subject to the maximum limits provided for in this chapter.

(b) The review and subsequent order or award shall be made in accordance with the procedure prescribed in § 11-9-704.
