She further alleged that she suffered residual effects for more than six months. The respondent, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding that Ms. Andrews was entitled to compensation. The respondent indicated that her case met the criteria set forth in the Vaccine Injury Table, which provides a presumption of causation for GBS occurring between three and forty-two days after a seasonal flu vaccination, provided there is no apparent alternative cause. Based on the respondent's concession and the evidence, the Chief Special Master issued a ruling on entitlement, finding Ms. Andrews entitled to compensation. Subsequently, the respondent filed a proffer on award of compensation, recommending an award of $140,000.00 for pain and suffering, to which Ms. Andrews agreed. The Chief Special Master issued a decision awarding Ms. Andrews a lump sum payment of $140,000.00 for pain and suffering, representing all elements of compensation available under the Vaccine Act.","is_minor_inferred":0,"is_pediatric_broad":0,"special_master":"Brian H.
