Opinion by

Chief Judge HUME.

In this workers’ compensation case, the issue raised by U.S. West Communications, Inc., (employer) is whether the 50% offset for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits should be taken against temporary total disability (TTD) and permanent partial disability (PPD) in their aggregate amount or whether the offset may be taken against each benefit separately. The Industrial Claim Appeals Office (Panel) held that the SSDI offset should be taken against the aggregate amount of the TTD and PPD benefits payable to James E. Harper (claimant). We affirm.
