1Opinion of the Court
Eberhakdt, Judge.
Where the deputy director finds that claimant injured his back on the job in July 1958, and subsequently aggravated the injuiy until a final aggravation attributable to a specific job-connected incident in July 1959, after which he was unable to continue work, his claim filed in December, 1959, is not barred by the one-year limitation in Code § 114-305. It is well settled that the aggravation or acceleration of a pre-existing latent infirmity is compensable. Pruitt v. Ocean Acc. &c. Corp., 48 Ga. App. 730 (173 SE 238); Employers Liability &c. Corp. v. Johnson, 62 Ga. App. 416…
