James TAYLOR, Appellant, v. GENERAL MASONRY, INC. and Wausau Insurance Company, Appellees.
    No. 92-2561.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    June 1, 1994.
    
      J.W. Chalkley III of Chalkley & Crooke, Ocala, Bill McCabe of Shepherd, McCabe & Cooley, Longwood, for appellant.
    Jack A. Langdon of Jack A. Langdon, P.A., Jacksonville, for appellees.
   ERVIN, Judge.

We reverse and remand the case with directions to award claimant indemnity benefits based on an average weekly wage (AWW) of $480, and its corresponding compensation rate (CR). This issue was mature and ripe for adjudication at the time the earlier September 5, 1990 compensation order was entered; therefore, the issue could not be relitigated at the subsequent hearing, which resulted in the order of June 16, 1992, awarding benefits based on a lesser AWW and CR than that on which such benefits had earlier been awarded. See City of Hialeah v. Cascardo, 443 So.2d 448 (Fla. 1st DCA 1984); Florida Power & Light Co. v. Haycraft, 421 So.2d 674 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982); Hunt v. International Mineral & Chem. Corp., 410 So.2d 640 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982).

REVERSED and REMANDED for proceedings consistent with this decision.

JOANOS and KAHN, JJ., concur.
