He alleged that he developed Bell's palsy as a result of receiving an influenza vaccine on October 10, 2014, and that he experienced residual effects from this injury for more than six months. The respondent denied that the flu vaccination caused Mr. Treadway's Bell's palsy or any other injury. However, both parties agreed to settle the case through a stipulation filed on February 14, 2017. The stipulation stated that the issues could be resolved and that a decision should be entered awarding compensation to Mr. Treadway. Special Master Brian H. Corcoran reviewed the file and found the stipulation to be reasonable, adopting it as the decision. The stipulation awarded Mr. Treadway a lump sum of $60,000.00, payable by check, as compensation for all damages available under the Act. The court directed that judgment be entered accordingly. Petitioner was represented by William E.
