Respondent filed a Rule 4(c) report conceding entitlement, and Chief Special Master Brian H. Corcoran found Ms. Lowe entitled to compensation on August 13, 2024.

Ms. Lowe received $97,661.32 as a lump sum: $97,500.00 for pain and suffering and $161.32 for unreimbursable expenses. A later October 30, 2025 decision addressed attorneys' fees and costs only.
