PER CURIAM

      AND NOW, this 15th day of September, 2017, the Petition for Allowance of

Appeal is GRANTED. The issues, rephrased for clarity, are as follows:



             Did the Commonwealth Court err in concluding that the term
             “instalments of compensation” in Section 319 of the Workers’
             Compensation Act, 77 P.S. § 671, encompasses both
             medical and disability compensation?

             Did the Commonwealth Court err in finding that the
             defendant-employer did not waive its rights under Section
             319 of the Workers’ Compensation Act, 77 P.S. § 671?
