OPINION

NIX, Chief Justice.

This is an appeal from the Order of the Commonwealth Court which reversed the Order of the Workmen’s Compensation Appeal Board and reinstated the referee’s grant of benefits pursuant to a fatal claim petition filed by Appellee, Anna Biddle, the widow of the decedent. We granted allocatur limited to the issue of whether the circumstances of the decedent’s employment support a conclusion that the decedent had “no fixed place of work,” such that Appellee would be eligible to receive benefits pursuant to her fatal claim petition.
