OPINION

HUDDLESTON, Judge.

These workers' compensation appeals present a common issue of law: whether the payment of temporary disability benefits, subsequent to the running of the original two-year period to file a claim after the date of an injury, serves to revive a claim and give a claimant two years from the date of the last payment of temporary benefits to file a claim, pursuant to Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) 342.185(1).
