In Westmoreland Regional Hospital v. Workers' Compensation Appeal Board (Stopa), 789 A.2d 413 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2001), the claimant received total disability benefits for a work-related right-shoulder injury. She later returned to modified work at a reduced wage and received partial disability benefits. She subsequently sustained a work-related knee injury. She then filed petitions to reinstate her total disability benefits for the first injury and to receive total disability benefits for the second injury. The Court rejected the WCJ's decision to allow her to receive simultaneous benefits for overlapping total disability up to the maximum compensation rate. The Court reasoned that a claimant could not collect two total disability awards because "short of death, a claimant can never be more than totally disabled." Id. at 417.
