City of Pittsburgh and UPMC Benefit Mgmt. Services, Inc. v. WCAB (Flaherty)

OPINION BY SENIOR JUDGE PELLEGRINI

The City of Pittsburgh (Employer) petitions for review of the order of the Workers' Compensation Appeal Board (Board) reversing the Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) decision and holding that Anne Marie Flaherty (Claimant) gave notice to Employer within 21 days of when she knew or should have known that her cancer was work-related. Because Claimant gave notice within 21 days, she was entitled to benefits from September 10, 2004, the date she left work due to her injury, as opposed to September 23, 2011, the date she filed her claim petition.
