Melissa Walter v. HHS - Influenza, small fiber neuropathy (2015)

Melissa Walter filed a petition alleging that she suffered small fiber neuropathy caused by an influenza vaccine she received on November 1, 2011. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccine caused her condition.

Despite the denial, the parties reached a stipulation to resolve the case. Special Master Laura D.

Millman adopted the stipulation and awarded Melissa Walter $25,000.00 in compensation for all damages, payable as a check to the petitioner. This award was based on a stipulation filed on November 2, 2015.

Subsequently, on November 18, 2015, the parties filed a separate stipulation regarding attorneys' fees and costs. Special Master Millman awarded $19,300.00 for attorneys' fees and costs, payable jointly to Melissa Walter and her attorneys, Maglio Christopher & Toale, PA.

The case was resolved through these stipulations, resulting in compensation for the petitioner.
