ORDER

PER CURIAM AND NOW, this 16th day of January, 2024, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by Petitioner, is: Because specific loss benefits are not payable until either disability ceases or the worker dies, did [the] Commonwealth Court err by limiting receipt of specific loss benefits posthumously to only claimants who die because of a cause unrelated to the work injury?
