The beneficiary of a complementary indemnity must, without delay, advise the Commission of any change in his situation rendering inaccurate the information he has furnished and having a bearing on the indemnity to be granted to him.
(3)  Every decision concerning the complementary indemnity favourable to the worker is executory notwithstanding the appeal provided for in section 12.
