She claimed residual effects lasting more than six months and confirmed no prior civil action for damages. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, denied that the vaccination caused her SIRVA or any other injury. Despite the respondent's denial, the parties filed a joint stipulation for damages, which the court found reasonable. Chief Special Master Nora Beth Dorsey awarded Patricia Walling a lump sum of $55,000.00 as compensation for all damages. This decision was based on the joint stipulation and was entered as the court's award. Petitioner was represented by Rachel Elizabeth Gusman of Graves, McLain, PLLC, and respondent was represented by Kathryn Ann Robinette of the U.S. Department of Justice.
