The case was assigned to the Special Processing Unit. On April 7, 2015, the respondent filed a Rule 4(c) Report conceding that the petitioner's injury was consistent with Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) and was compensable as a \"caused-in-fact\" injury under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence, Chief Special Master Denise Kathryn Vowell issued a ruling on entitlement on April 9, 2015, finding Ms. Budgake entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on June 10, 2015, the parties submitted a proffer on the award of compensation. The respondent detailed compensation in the amount of $920.85 for past lost earnings, $100,000.00 for actual and projected pain and suffering, and $1,537.85 for past unreimbursable expenses, totaling $102,458.70.
