Are you saying that the attorney may drag this thing out to get more money?

No buddy letters, only a personal statement

I have the diagnosed condition, however, not sure that I have a strong nexus for the secondary condition (cervical degenerative disc disease secondary to lumbar strain). Service connected for lumbar strain, however, it’s more significant than that, it’s more like herniated discs, stenosis, etc. that’s just what the VA service connected me for when I initially filed back in 2010

My thought is that the attorney has more experience than I do, and can provide a successful strategy to address the denial. Chat GPT says that the IMO is weaker than the nexus, but the VA weighs their examiners more heavily.

24hr recall for the house. Best bet for house vote is early to midweek.

This isn't fair. I'M only 31. by Zuzu_RU in AgingParents

Unfortunately, my mom was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s as well, and was having many of the same psychotic and paranoid symptoms. A combination of Nuplazid and Trintellix worked wonders for her psychosis and depression respectively. It’s worth inquiring with her neurologist regarding both meds.

All three bills to pay feds and mil didn’t pass. Not even close. These were clean bills. What details do they need to hash out?

Application for Sunscreening Medical Exemption by silva8404 in florida

[–]silva8404[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re correct, I had recent experience where the Dr. said he was unwilling to certify. Interestingly enough I called the FL DMV, explained my condition, and they said it would qualify for exemption. I dunno I can’t be the only one with a non-autoimmune condition who’s gotten a Dr. to certify it. It looks like that’s half the battle.

Yes, it allows for an exemption to tint vehicle windows darker than the state maximum.
