                                      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?
