1Opinion of the Court

PELLEGRINI, Judge.

Erie Dobransky (Claimant) petitions for review of the November 7,1996 decision and order of the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board (Board) affirming the decision of a Workers’ Compensation Judge (WCJ) suspending Claimant’s benefits because Claimant was physically able to return to work. Not disputing on appeal the WCJ’s determination that he is physically able to return to his pre-injury position, Claimant appeals, contending only that the jobs offered to him were not available because he was living in Pittsburgh and they were offered in Philadelphia.
