Opinion by

Judge Palladino,

Claimant-widow appeals an order of the Workmen’s Compensation Appeal Board (Board) which affirmed a referee’s decision dismissing her fatal claim petition pursuant to Section 315 of The Pennsylvania Workmen’s Compensation Act (Act), Act of June 2, 1915, P.L. 736, as amended, 77 P.S. §602. We affirm the order of the Board.

Almost six years after the death of her husband,1 Claimant filed a fatal claim petition, alleging that her claim should not be barred as untimely because her husband’s employer had misled her regarding her potential right to death benefits.
