Whitmoyer v. Workers' Compensation Appeal Board

Opinion of the Court

ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 15th day of September, 2017, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issues, rephrased for clarity, are as follows:

Did the Commonwealth Court err in concluding that the term “instalments of compensation” in Section 319 of the Workers’ Compensation Act, 77 P.S. § 671, encompasses both medical and disability compensation?
Did the Commonwealth Court err in finding that the defendant-employer did not waive its rights under Section 319 of the Workers’ Compensation Act, 77 P.S. § 671?
