PER CURIAM

      AND NOW, this 14th day of February, 2024, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal

is GRANTED. The issue, rephrased for clarity, is:

      Did the Commonwealth Court err in applying Section 306(a) of the Workers’
      Compensation Act, 77 P.S. § 511, rather than Section 306(c), 77 P.S. §
      513, to determine the benefit rate for the specific loss of a body part, based
      upon its decision in Walton v. Cooper Hosiery Co., 409 A.2d 518 (Pa.
      Cmwlth. 1980)?
