LAVENDER, Vice Chief Justice.
The question presented is whether the attorney’s fee portion of an award made
1. Now 85 O.S.1991, § 172(B) and Supp.1992. from the Special Indemnity Fund abates upon the death of the Employee where the Special Indemnity Statute 85 O.S.1981, § 172(C) (renumbered as 85 O.S.1991, § 172(D)) states “[ajwards from the Special Indemnity Fund shall abate upon the death, from any cause, of the employee.” We hold that according to the law in effect at the time of injury, Attorney’s fee abated as part of Employee’s award.
