each state has their own laws.
whether you can restart TD would depend on your states time limits.

you are limited to a 104 weeks of TD within 5yrs of your injury date.
since you have had an award that fixed your disability (TD &/or PD) you will need to file a petition to reopen for new & further.
unless you have aggravated it at work and have had a new injury.
if you had an atty on your first award, they are still your atty of record and you should contact them.
