<bold>1. Workers' Compensation — death benefits — statute of</bold> <bold>limitations — determination of disability</bold> <block_quote> A workers' compensation claim for death benefits was not time barred under N.C.G.S. § <cross_reference>97-38</cross_reference> where the decedent was attacked in 1994 while working as a courier, he was left in a permanent<page_number>Page 515</page_number> vegetative state, a Form 21 agreement for disability compensation was approved in 1994, and he died in 2001, more than six years after his injury and more than two years from the Form 21 filing. While a Form 21 is a method for establishing disability, it does not always constitute a final award; in this case, the decedent's condition was uncertain and the Form 21 was a preliminary agreement for disability payments rather than a final determination of disability. That occurred in a separate claim on 19 April 2001, and death occurred within two years of that date.</block_quote> <bold>2. Workers' Compensation — attorney fees — determination of</bold> <bold>issue required</bold> <block_quote> The Industrial Commission errs by failing to rule on attorney fees when the issue has been raised. In this case, the motion was for attorney fees under N.C.G.S. § <cross_reference>97-88</cross_reference>; while the Commission ruled on attorney fees under N.C.G.S. § <cross_reference>97-88.1</cross_reference>, the statutes provide separate grounds and the case was remanded for a determination of the issue under N.C.G.S. § <cross_reference>97-88</cross_reference>.</block_quote>
