Helstrom v. Commonwealth

Opinion by

Judge MacPhail,

Frank Helstrom (Petitioner) brings this appeal from a decision of the Workmen’s Compensation Appeal Board (Board) reversing a referee’s decision which had granted workmen’s compensation benefits to Petitioner. The only issue presented for our consideration is whether Petitioner’s claim was barred by the statute of limitations found in Section 315 of The Pennsylvania Workmen’s Compensation Act, Act of June 2, 1915, P.L. 736, as amended, 77 P.S. §602 (Act). We hold that the claim was barred and, accordingly, we affirm.

There is no dispute as to the facts of this case.…
