KELLEY, Judge,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent.
The work related aggravation of an underlying non-work related preexisting condition is a compensable “injury” under the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act1. Pawlosky v. Workmen’s Compensation Appeal Board (Latrobe Brewing Company), 514 Pa. *1116450, 525 A.2d 1204 (1987). As a result, I would affirm the order of the board affirming the WCJ’s decision granting Claimant’s petition for benefits.

. Act of June 2, 1915, P.L. 736, as amended, 77 P.S. §§ 1-1041.4; 2501-2626.
