Payment of compensation for disablement shall cease upon the termination of the disablement. An application to terminate compensation awarded may be made to the director by any person in interest, or the termination may be decided by the workers' compensation judge upon his own motion. Notice of decision as to termination shall be given by the workers' compensation judge to all parties in interest. Where the disablement has terminated and within one year thereafter, or in case of silicosis or asbestosis within two years, the disablement recurs as a result of the occupational disease for which the award was made, the workers' compensation judge may order resumption of compensation if claim therefor is made within sixty days after the recurrence of the disablement.
