C. Other Requirements for Entitlement

In addition to establishing a Table injury, a petitioner must also provide
preponderant evidence of the additional requirements of Section 11(c). Respondent does
not dispute that Petitioner has satisfied these requirements in this case, and the overall
record contains preponderant evidence to fulfill these additional requirements. Petitioner
has therefore established that he suffered a Table SIRVA. Additionally, he has satisfied
all other requirements for compensation. | therefore find that Petitioner is entitled to
compensation in this case.

Conclusion

In view of the evidence of record, | find that there is preponderant evidence
that Petitioner satisfies the QAI requirements for a Table SIRVA. Further, based on
the evidence of record, | find that Petitioner is entitled to compensation.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
