In making its determination that a 90-year-old claimant was not permanently and totally disabled, the Industrial Commission was free to reject a report from claimant’s vocational consultant in favor of its own analysis of relevant vocational factors. While the Commission acknowledged that claimant’s age was a negative factor, it also noted that claimant had a high school education and a lengthy and successful work history that included supervisory positions. The Court noted that the claimant had a driver’s license and was able to return to his prior employment as a “runner” for a car dealership. Claimant did not meet the definition of PTD; he had the ability to perform sustained remunerative employment.
