Medicine to stay away from

I feel like I have read that there are certain medicines that people with dysautonomia should stay away from, but it may have been some other disease… I am overwhelmed with several pressing issues at the moment and need some help otherwise, I’d start digging in to research myself… Thanks in advance!

Withdrawal question

If an account had one person that was the registered person with access and that person was legally changed and a new signature card was signed, is there any reason that would allow for the original person to be able to withdraw money? I don’t mean using a debit card, atm or check. I mean go into the bank and get a cashier’s check.

I wouldn’t think there is, but I know there is a whole Code of Federal Regulations that probably applies, so…

Attorney specialization

I know there is a long list of specializations in the legal field. What type would litigates against a bank when they allow improper withdrawals?

Figure the drastic reduction out (for me anyway)

For every one that has had their SNAP benefits drastically reduced I figured out why (potentially).

In my case I was receiving $298 (the max amount) and was reduced to $24. My income did not increase and my expenses did not decrease. The case worker would have appeared to have ONLY applied the standard deduction of $209 to my income and checked out.

I’m thinking that is what has happened to those of you that have had such drastic cuts. Not only were my excess shelter expenses not deducted, which unless you are disabled, are capped at $744; I am disabled, so there is no limit on excess shelter expenses. However, $744 in excess shelter expenses for someone that is not disabled is an additional $223 in SNAP benefits for 1 person.

Y’all need to send an email to your local State Representative’s office letting them know what is taking place.

Norfolk Pine Dilemma

We’re in Central Florida where there was a freeze earlier this year. Our HOA has a bunch of Norfolk Pines throughout our property that have turned brown. Our landscaper (who actually went to agricultural school and has been in the field for 40+ years, but is not an arborist), feels that the trees are still alive, just “stunned” and will come back. Some still have green, some have new growth and he says they still have sap. He says they will come back, but they will take a while.

In preparation for our annual tree trimming, we had the arborist for our tree cutting service come out. While on one hand he said they may come back, but will take awhile, on the other hand he said they were dead and should be removed. Usually, I wouldn’t think twice about what an arborist says, but I am also fully aware that he is a salesman…

I love these trees and feel like they are probably fine and will just be ugly/messy for a bit, but if they really do need to go, I don’t want to leave them standing. I’d love to hear what someone that doesn’t get paid to remove trees has to say…

This is just a pic of one of them. I can try to get better/more pics if that would be helpful…

Thanks in advance!

Medical records update

Due to dementia, the veteran has had a legal guardian for the last several years. Prior to the guardianship the veteran quit going to his various specialists and just let his pcp refill meds etc., IF he even did that. The records from the specialists are gone. The guardian did not look into his medical past and essentially started from scratch with the memory care doctor. The pcp was newer to the veteran and the veteran/veteran’s spouse didn’t always provide accurate information. The pcp recently retired and was less than helpful prior to retiring. I have taken over as guardian and will be applying for VA service connected disability for the veteran.

Here is my question: How do I update the current nursing home doctor to the veteran’s conditions that have been largely ignored for years, but still exist, in order to ensure they are a “current” diagnosis and without overwhelming/irritating the doctor? They only allot minimal time for visits… AND would that be enough for the condition to be considered “current”?

I realize the VA will likely do a C&P exam, but we all know how those generally go… Due to limited mobility of the veteran, if I need to obtain a nexus letter from a specialist, they would need to review current records, since they would otherwise have to examine the veteran, which is not a possibility unless they make house calls. Am I thinking about this the right way or over-thinking it? Missing records could typically be fairly easily worked around, but the dementia piece creates logistical issues. The family can provide lay statements, but having the diagnosis be current is the hiccup I am trying to navigate. Thanks in advance!

Holding government accountable

There is a guy that will file suit against local governments when they fail to comply with the law. I’m hoping someone knows who it is off of the top of their head, otherwise I’ll do some research… He doesn’t do it for money, but to ensure that the law is being followed. I have a situation where a city contractor is profiting off certain disabled individuals that are explicitly exempt from payment under the law and the city is not enforcing the law. It’s mind blowing.

Need help locating old Tampa Police Record

Hoping someone can help me. I’m trying to locate an old TPD report from 1990. TPD started microfiching reports in 1993 according to their website. They found a report from 1993, with the person as a witness, which makes me think they searched a computer index because otherwise that report would have been a needle in a haystack. How do I get the paper records searched? I have the exact date, location, etc. They say that’s all there is, but it’s been suggested (by an unaffiliated party) that it may be in a different department or I need to request a different type of search. I hate being the 🫏 requesting something that isn’t a “thing”, so hoping someone may be able to direct me…

Location: Florida

I’m looking for an attorney that will provide an opinion on an accounting and supporting documents. I know there are issues. I do not know how the court would see them or if it would be worth it to purse. My attorney has previously told me not to bother unless it’s a big chunk of money. However, I’m not entirely certain how much it is until someone else looks at it, but it could easily be $25k (potentially up to six figures). My attorney also works in a somewhat limited field and doesn’t really like taking on friends or potentially costing himself business from others in the field (which I understand), so I almost feel like they may downplay it. I’m willing to hire another attorney to handle litigation for the recovery of funds, but only if it makes sense. On the surface the accounting doesn’t seem super out of the ordinary, until you look at the documentation from “behind the scenes”. The situation has been slightly complicated, but the issues are not.

My question is, are attorneys willing to provide second opinions if they don’t think it will lead to more than just an hour or 2 of paid work? I can see both sides of the coin, but because the field is somewhat limited, I need to be strategic in my approach.
