Thomas J. FREIHEIT, Appellant, v. COCONUT CREEK DEVELOPERS, et al., Appellees.
    No. YY-98.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Aug. 11, 1981.
    Richard A. Sadow, North Miami, for appellant.
    H. B. Yandle, Miami, for appellees.
   WENTWORTH, Judge.

Claimant appeals a workers’ compensation order which we affirm except as to the deputy commissioner’s denial of the claim for penalties pursuant to § 440.20(7), Florida Statutes. Appellee concedes that claimant was entitled to such a “penalty award,” and the order appealed is accordingly reversed on this issue and remanded to the deputy commissioner for the assessment and imposition of the statutory penalty.

BOOTH and SHAW, JJ., concur.
