¶1

Ellington, J.

— In 1999, the Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) entered a final order calculating Jimmy Lynn’s compensation benefits. Lynn did not appeal. In 2001, *832in Cockle v. Department of Labor & Industries,1 the Washington Supreme Court ruled that the value of health care benefits must be included in calculating workers’ compensation. Lynn contends that under RCW 51.28.040, Cockle constituted a change of circumstances justifying recalculation of his benefits. We must disagree, and we therefore affirm summary judgment for L&I.
