Property Taxes Waived Sec. 7b. (1) Real property used and owned as a homestead by a disabled veteran who was discharged from the armed forces of the United States under honorable conditions or by an individual described in subsection (2) is exempt from the collection of taxes under this act. To obtain the exemption, an affidavit showing the facts required by this section and a description of the real property shall be filed by the property owner or his or her legal designee with the supervisor or other assessing officer during the period beginning with the tax day for each year and ending at the time of the final adjournment of the local board of review. The affidavit when filed shall be open to inspection. The county treasurer shall cancel taxes subject to collection under this act for any year in which a disabled veteran eligible for the exemption under this section has acquired title to real property exempt under this section. Upon granting the exemption under this section, each local taxing unit shall bear the loss of its portion of the taxes upon which the exemption has been granted. We win!

Hi Berta, no I filled a claim for asbestosis and or COPD. Both were denied. Later in another C&P I was diadnosed as having COPD

I filled a claim a few years back for asbestos-is / coped both were denied. Because I didn't have the evidence to to appeal I didn't. A few months later during another C&P I was diagnosed with COPD. How do I reopen this considering I did not appeal in the allotted time?

SURE DOESNT FEEL LIKE IT...............mentally scared over the past three years

Eat it............. President Obama is keeping his word that the feds will back off in medical states. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder promised a clean break from the policies of the Bush administration. Yesterday, during a live interview on C-Span, he affirmed that this change includes ending the DEA raids of state-authorized medical marijuana providers. Responding to a reporter’s question regarding the DEA’s recent actions against several California medical cannabis providers, Holder stated: “What the President said during the campaign . . . will be consistent with what we will be doing here in law enforcement. . . What [President Obama] said during the campaign . . . is now American policy.” You can watch the video of Attorney General Holder’s remarks here. Holder’s statement marks a dramatic shift in U.S. drug policy, and is a major victory for the 72 million Americans who reside in states where the use of medical cannabis is legal! It also lends support to the ongoing efforts in Minnesota, New Jersey, and Rhode Island — each of which are debating legislative proposals to make the production and distribution of medical cannabis legal under state law. At this time, NORML would like to personally thank those of you who responded to our request to contact the Attorney General’s office and urge Eric Holder to call off the DEA raids. Your phone calls and e-mails have helped to change U.S. marijuana policy! So go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back. And while you’re at it, click here to thank the new Attorney General for supporting the will of the people and the health and welfare of seriously ill patients. “Change we can believe in?” Yes it is, and it’s about time

Request they reopen your claim with new evidence.

Howdy to all my friends, its been a while. Last week I had my SSA ALJ Hearing and won finally its done. Anyways All you Michiganders out there know that we voted in medical marijuana back in November and it went into effect in December and in January I became a legal state wide patient, as before I was only legal in Ann Arbor, you know down the street from the VA Hospital. Anyways there is a association www.michiganmedicalmarijuan.org it is a patient support group and non profit. I am happy to say I am a member. Anyways we are trying to get local area clubs started so we can educate patients, doctors, police etc. Our meetings and association are open to the public. MMMA Compassion Clubs are simply community-based support groups of patients, caregivers, families and loved ones, local caregiver groups, and the public, who meet regularly to learn and provide mutual support. Compassion Clubs discuss issues effecting Michigan’s medical marijuana community, and promote the open exchange of ideas and information. MMMA Compassion Clubs form when friends and neighbors come together to support, learn from, and educate each other. Some programming is provided on a regular basis to local groups by the central MMMA office. In addition, Compassion Clubs are encouraged to develop their own local programming based on local needs and resources. The most important benefit of each meeting however comes from the empowerment members feel from the social networking and community building that is a positive side effect of these meetings. We are inclusive, color-blind, compassionate, tolerant, law-abiding people coming together to support local members of Michigan’s medical marijuana community. Compassion Clubs are also encouraged to interact with other Clubs in surrounding areas or across the state for a variety of purposes including networking, community volunteer days & festivals or to co-sponsor fundraising events. We expect club sponsors to visit other clubs to share ideas and identify common goals that clubs can rally around to raise funds of awareness. Compassion Clubs are semi-autonomous groups, required to adhere to a few simple guidelines to be recognized by the MMMA, but flexible to structure their organization, officers, activities and meetings to suit member need. Clubs are not required to incorporate, or to become sanctioned by the MMMA, but clubs that do take advantage of incorporation will be eligible to participate in additional MMMA revenue-sharing programs. Check out http://www.michiganmedicalmarijuana.org/forum/53 It list the locals in michigan. I know there is a mtg 1-3 in Brighton on Sunday at the city Library.

proposal 1 passed in Mi. I wonder how the VA is going to handle this! Especially with their pain management policies.....I never signed a narcotic agreement, they forgot and its a little to late now. Its funny that the doctors know I have had two p test positive for thc and I admit to them yes I use it for pain, its legal in ann arbor ya know (I am at the ann arbor vamc) and now its legal state wide. I am hoping to get off fentanyl, oxycodone and clonazepam by using weed

I hate lawyers! The dumb ass didnt tell me that 1. My case had been transfered from Mi to Indiana (MI backlog) 2. They will make a determination in my case as fast as we send them updated records. 3. If they cant make a favorable decision then we will have a ALJ hearing ASAP. I hope to have everything into the lawyer and SSA by the end of Nov. My doctor (civ) showed me a form my lawyer sent her and I was suprised when she showed it to me, she said she didnt want to screw me over :) and wanted to fill it out together. Just so happens that I was prepared to ask her to do a form for SSA and had all my medical records now on a CD including all VA records. I asked her to review the VA records which include pysch and the C&P exams which include pysch. I gave her a list of all my rated disabilities and she was blown away, she didnt know half of whats wrong with me. We have a appointment next thursday to cokmplete the forms. I have only had her for about 2 years and my heart and pysch have been the mainstay of our business. I have a appt with my VAa shrink on the 20th and after that then I will have all I need to update the SSA. Hopefully its gonna be a hell of a xmas, a minimum of 3.5 years of back pay from SSA I am now looking for house plans to build my A Frame house or even a prefab A frame, hopefully next summer I will be living north of here on my farm/compound :P I think she will sign off and say I cant work.

They are asking for a update, would this mean I am getting close to my ALJ Hearing?

you nailed it, the patient bill of rights pretty much. I am 100% P&T 70% for 3 pysch depression, ptsd, pain disorder, I no longer attend any treatment except my every three month psychiatrist appt. I begged for psychotherapy and the best I could get was a social worker. With everything that happened to me I refuse treatment other than RX for my mental conditions. Between all the F*%k ups they did to me including the doctor assault screw them. in the opening post the member didnt say anything about his P&T Status, but under his name it says he is 100%

sorry pete but your wrong about the AL imo, I researched where all the SO's stood before I joined the AL, they didnt say they were for the lawyers but unlike the rest they didnt say they were against it.

I have three cameras on the perimeter of my house....get cheap cameras that work good at ...www.x10.com
