The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, filed a Rule 4(c) report on October 18, 2019, conceding that petitioner suffered a Table SIRVA and that no other causes for the injury were identified. The respondent also agreed that the statutory six-month sequela requirement had been satisfied. Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence of record, Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran issued a ruling on entitlement on October 18, 2019, finding Ms. Stewart entitled to compensation. Subsequently, on November 6, 2019, the respondent filed a proffer on the award of compensation. The proffer indicated that the petitioner should be awarded $81,355.96, representing all elements of compensation available under 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-15(a). The petitioner agreed to this proffered award. Chief Special Master Corcoran accepted the proffer and awarded Ms. Stewart a lump sum payment of $81,355.96, payable by check to her. The decision noted that Ms. Stewart is a competent adult and evidence of guardianship was not required. Judgment was entered on December 26, 2019. Petitioner was represented by Jimmy A. Zgheib of Zgheib Sayad, P.C., and respondent was represented by Lara Ann Englund of the U.S. Department of Justice.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
