Commission's decision that claimant was not permanently and totally disabled is not against manifest weight of evidence, given Functional Capacity Evaluation report and physician testimony. As claimant requested alternate relief of, and did not explicitly waive his right to, a wage differential award, Commission was obliged to resolve that issue. (HOLDRIDGE, HUDSON, HARRIS, and STEWART, concurring.)
