Devin Beck v. HHS - Meningococcal, acute disseminated encephalomyelopathy (ADEM) (2017)

Devin Beck filed a petition for compensation on November 12, 2015, alleging that he suffered from acute disseminated encephalomyelopathy (ADEM) as a result of the meningococcal vaccine he received on June 11, 2013. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccine caused petitioner's ADEM or any other injuries.

On July 21, 2017, the parties filed a stipulation agreeing that a decision should be entered awarding compensation. The stipulation stated that Devin Beck would receive a lump sum of $115,000.00 as compensation for all damages.

Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey found the stipulation reasonable and adopted it as the decision of the Court, approving the compensation amount. Judgment was to be entered in accordance with the stipulation.
