DECISION ON JOINT STIPULATION1
DENISE KATHRYN VOWELL, Chief Special Master.
Sandra McCray ["petitioner"] filed a petition for compensation under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program2 on September 6, 2011. Petitioner alleges that she developed brachial neuritis ["BN"], and/or complex regional pain syndrome ["CRPS"], and/or carpal tunnel syndrome ["CTS"], and that these conditions were caused in fact by a flu vaccination. See Stipulation, filed Feb. 27, 2014, at ¶¶ 2, 4. Further, petitioner alleges that she experienced residual effects of her injury for more than six months. Id. Respondent denies that petitioner's flu vaccine is the cause of her alleged BN, and/or CRPS, and/or CTS, or any other condition. Stipulation at ¶ 6.
Nevertheless, the parties have agreed to settle the case. On February 27, 2014, the parties filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle this case and describing the settlement terms.

A lump sum of $70,000.00 in the form of a check payable to petitioner, Sandra McCray. This amount represents compensation for all damages that would be available under § 300aa-15(a).
The special master adopts the parties' stipulation attached hereto, and awards compensation in the amount and on the terms set forth therein. The clerk of the court is directed to enter judgment in accordance with this decision.3
IT IS SO ORDERED.
