The period of compensation payable under the schedule in section 8107(c)
of this title is reduced by the period of compensation paid or payable
under the schedule for an earlier injury if--
(1) compensation in both cases is for disability of the same member or
function or different parts of the same member or function or for
disfigurement; and
(2) the Secretary of Labor finds that compensation payable for the later
disability in whole or in part would duplicate the compensation payable
for the preexisting disability.
In such a case, compensation for disability continuing after the
scheduled period starts on expiration of that period as reduced under this
section.
