PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 18th day of April, 2017, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is
GRANTED. The issues, as stated by petitioner, are:
(1) Is compensation payable pursuant to Article III of the Pennsylvania Workers’
Compensation Act, when the Claimant suffers a work related injury and is
concurrently entitled to benefits under the Pennsylvania Workers’
Compensation Act and the Heart and Lung Act?
(2) Did the Commonwealth Court err in its determination that a self-insured
municipality [sic] is not entitled to subrogation, to the extent of the
compensation payable pursuant to Article III of the Pennsylvania Workers’
Compensation [Act], when it has concurrent obligations to an injured State
Trooper under the Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Act and the Heart
and Lung Act?
