OPINION AND ORDER
This case comes on for review before the Commission on remand from the Arkansas Court of Appeals.
In an opinion delivered April 14, 1999, the Arkansas Court of Appeals reversed the Commission's finding that claimant did not sustain a compensable injury and remanded "for an award of benefits."
The Administrative Law Judge had previously found that claimant sustained a gradual onset injury to her left knee and awarded benefits for temporary total disability and permanent anatomical impairment. In its notice of appeal to the Commission, respondent listed compensability as the issue on appeal. Respondent's brief to the Commission argues only the issue of compensability. Thus, respondent has never challenged the nature or extent of compensation benefits awarded by the Administrative Law Judge.
Accordingly, we direct respondent to comply with the award set forth in the opinion of the Administrative Law Judge. All accrued benefits shall be paid in a lump sum without discount and with interest thereon at the lawful rate from the date of the opinion of the Administrative Law Judge.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
