My 20 yr old grand-daughter has lupus with heart and lung involvment, Reyenauds, R.A., CFS. She can not work or live by herself. Her mental stability is declining fast which makes her non-compliant with her Lupus. We are having trouble finding competant healthcare for Lupus. I am 70 and can't handle it much longer alone. Where can she live and get medical and mental support? Who can help her file for Disability?

I have the following recommendations to address the healthcare and disability application issues:

- Apply for Medicaid and any other relevant Public Assistance benefits for your granddaughter at your local administering agency. Each state has its own unique Medicaid benefit programs, and procedures for applying for public assistance benefits. Please visit http://www.cms.hhs.gov/home/medicaid.asp to learn about Medicaid programs specific to your state of residence.

- Contact your local Protection and Advocacy program to receive guidance regarding applying for SSDI or SSI benefits for your granddaughter. They may also be able to assist with questions regarding Medicaid and Public Assistance. Please visit http://www.ssa.gov/work/ServiceProviders/PADirectory.html to find contact information for your state of residence.

Take care~

I had some crown work done by a dentist in my local area (about 2 1/2 years ago). The original dentist that did the work has an expressed warranty of 3 years.Since my porcelain crown has fractured and cracked in half, I contacted the dental office to inquire about warranty. I was informed that the original dentist had sold the practice to the current dentist that was inquiring with including the patient records. I have contacted both the original doctor and the current doctor. The current dentist has said that the liability still falls with the original doctor and the original doctor says the liability falls with the current dentist since the patient records were sold along with the practice. I'm stuck in the middle with both dentist pointing fingers at each other. On top of that, my insurance won't cover a replacement since the work was done withing the last five years so I'm stuck with a $1000 bill to replace the crown. Is there anything legal that I can do?
