No-fault compensation and eligibility rules

Compensation may be awarded for conditions not on the Table or for conditions manifesting outside the Table time periods only if the petitioner shows the condition was caused by a listed vaccine; the Court appoints special masters to consider petitions.

The notice instructs you to file an original and three copies with the Clerk at 717 Madison Place NW, Washington, DC 20005, and send a copy to HRSA at 5600 Fishers Lane, Room 14W-18, Rockville, MD 20857, using the Court caption and docket number for the petition.
