Hospital and insurance have 3/12. Will the date be discussed between adjuster and hr and should I just not apply for PIP because of discrepancy?
answered on Mar 31, 2021
The discrepancy sounds like a mistake and can easily be corrected----you should not use that to prevent you from applying for PIP. Good luck.

Patents cannot be renewed after the end of their full term (in contrast to trademarks and copyrights).
To be clear, a patent that goes abandoned early for failure to pay a maintenance fee can be revived if the failure was unintentional.

I am sure that Delaware has a small claims court system. Your claim, being under $1000.00 will most likely fall in the jurisdiction. You need to sue the contractor for use of the CC beyond the permissive use you gave him. Pay the CC to preserve your credit. HD really did not do anything wrong,... View More
