Description
ARGUED: March 7, 2001 OPINION Gary R. Bush (Claimant) petitions for review of an order of the Workers' Compensation Appeal Board (Board) reversing the decision of a Workers' Compensation Judge (WCJ), which had granted Claimant's petition for commutation of benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 316 of the Workers' Compensation Act (Act), Act of June 2, 1915, P.L. 736, as amended, 77 P.S. §604. An issue of first impression is presented: whether a claimant, who is receiving total disability benefits, may commute 360 weeks of future benefits into one lump sum commuted payment, while retaining a right to collect additional future weekly benefits at the expiration of the commuted segment of 360 weeks. We hold that he cannot.
