Pennsylvania Statutes Title 77 P.S. Workers' Compensation § 1515. Reassignment of petitions before order made

At any time before an award or disallowance of compensation or order has been made by a referee to whom a petition has been assigned, the board may order such petition heard before it or one or more of its members or may reassign it to any other referee. Unless the board shall otherwise order, the testimony taken before the original referee shall be considered as though taken before the board or substituted referee.
