The Social Security Administration, Office of Disability, Notice of Award letter dated
August 23, 1993 said I met the medical requirements to receive Social Security benefits,
and found that I became disabled under its rules on January 17, 1992.
I am currently being treated for type 2 adult onset diabetes with medication, treatment
that is no longer effective. The attached Accu-Chek Compass One Page Summary Report for the
period ending April 20, 2015 (Exhibit 8) shows my treatment for diabetes is not effective. The
trend graph shows blood glucose levels approaching 500 on April 17, 2015. This level of blood
glucose is disabling. Disability is a barrier to competent (Rule 4-1.1) and diligent (Rule 4-1.3)

functioning in this legal matter. Recently my doctor prescribed a lower cost insulin, isophane
(NPH)100 units/ml human recombinant subcutaneous suspension. Exhibit 9. The cost, $122.95 is
still prohibitive. I am not able to purchase this medication at this time due to indigence. In other
words, I do not have $122.95 available in cash or credit.

disability. Am. Jur. Pleading and Practice Forms, Insurance 1032.
31 Fla. Jur. 2d 2197 (2007), General Disability
A typical general disability clause requires that the insured be unable to perform the
material or substantial duties of any occupation in which insured reasonably could [fn1]
be expected to engage, or prevented from engaging in any occupation or performing any
6
work for compensation of financial value, [fn2] or from performing any work, following
any occupation, or engaging in any business for remuneration or profit, [fn3] or that the
insured suffer any impairment of mind or body that continuously renders it impossible for
insured to follow a gainful occupation.[fn4] Under such a clause, the insured is totally
disabled when his or her condition is such that he or she is not able to perform the duties
of any occupation for which he or she is fitted or qualified by education, training, or
experience.[fn5] Thus, a travel and market consultant was not totally disabled from an
injury to his foot and back while running, even though the injuries allegedly restricted his
travel and reduced his firm's income, where the consultant continued to perform the
duties of employment as owner of the firm, continued to travel, and failed to show that
his business lost money due to his alleged disability, and the policy defined "total
disability" as an inability to perform material and substantial duties of any occupation
which insured reasonably could be expected to engage in.[fn6]
Generally, an insured who continues or resumes working subsequent to the
commencement of the disability is precluded from receiving total or permanent disability
benefits whenever he or she substantially performs the important and material duties of
his or her occupation. [fn7] However this rule is subject to many important exceptions.
Thus, recovery will not be precluded where the insured makes an unsuccessful attempt to
work [fn8] or returns to a reduced or relaxed workload, or where he or she participates in
merely trivial or minor activities. [fn9] Thus, an elderly dentist did not terminate his
period of total disability because of his activities as a partner in a firm dealing in
automatic laundry equipment where the insured came to the office frequently when he
felt like it and performed a variety of odd jobs, but two business trips attempted by him
had terminated en route because of his physical condition, he signed many checks while
at home in bed, he drew no salary or other compensation, and had no specific duties to
perform. [fn10]
Even though a person who becomes wholly disabled from engaging in his or her
occupation may nevertheless follow some gainful occupation after years of preparatory
study and mental training, until that end is accomplished and the insured is receiving
profits or remuneration from his or her new vocation, the insurer is not justified in
refusing monthly benefit payments. [fn11]

2195 Generally; what constitutes "total disability"
cases
Under Florida law, letter from disability insurer's chief underwriting officer to insured
physician clarifying, at insured's request, that insured's "regular occupation" was invasive
and interventional cardiology, not cardiology as insurer originally had stated, was
bargained-for modification of total disability insurance policy, and thus was controlling,
for for purposes of policy's definition of disability as "[inability] . . . to engage in
[insured's] regular occupation or profession." Kraft v. Massachusetts Cas. Ins. Co., 320 F.
Supp. 2d 1234 (N.D. Fla. 2004).
2196 Occupational disability
cases
Insured under a disability insurance policy was regularly engaged in an occupation at the
time of his disability and, thus, could fit the policy's definition of total disability, even
though insured was not actively employed at time of his disability, and had not worked in
over 18 months due to the injury; policy language did not require insured to be actively
employed. McPhee v. The Paul Revere Life Ins. Co., 883 So. 2d 364 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App.
4th Dist. 2004).
31 Fla. Jur. 2d 2191, Duty of insured to remove disability
An insured who is suffering from a disability is under a duty to avail himself or herself of
all reasonable means and remedies to remove such disability. [fn1] Thus, an osteopath
with a skin condition on his hands, diagnosed as infectious eczematoid dermatitis, was
denied benefits for total disability where he made no effort to have his condition treated
by a dermatologist until after filing his claim of disability, which was several years after
the onset of the condition, having previously prescribed and administered his own
10
treatment, which consisted mostly of trying out free samples sent to him by
pharmaceutical companies; and where there was no evidence that with a proper diagnosis
and regimen the condition would not yield to treatment. [fn2]
If, however, there is a difference of opinion among doctors about the cause of the
disability, benefits may not be withheld because of the party's failure to follow the
medical advice of the insurer's doctor. [fn3]

Appendix 21, AmeriFace refused to provide name of counsel that might represent me,
On March 13, 2015 at 12.00 PM Ms. Oliver posted on Facebook about being contacted by
attorneys, "For more than five years, our organization has been contacted by attorneys...
On March 13, 2015 at 12:19 PM Ms. Oliver posted on Facebook,
...the inquiry this morning came from a law firm run by an attorney ****who sits
on the board of directors of a so-called cleft support organization!!**** Are you kidding
me? This is NOT right. I am just about beside myself right now...this is a law firm we
turned down years ago, one that found an opening somewhere else in the cleft community
- and now that person is on the legal website endorsing the attorney, saying he has been
"fundamentally helpful in the growth of our organization." Folks, when you need support,
stick with the premier support organization for the cleft/craniofacial community! Invite
your friends and acquaintances to join us at...where there is no underlying agenda!
Unfortunately, there is an underlying agenda with AmeriFace that results in discrimination
against a protected class of adult persons with craniofacial anomaly-related disabilities.
Unfortunately parents of the afflicted are some of the worst offenders. The problem is
compounded exponentially when they are in positions of authority in AmeriFace and
other groups purporting to serve the cleft/craniofacial community.
In fact they only serve the parent agenda within the cleft/craniofacial community.
Attached is a paper published by the Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal, July 2011, Vol. 48
No. 4, Impact of a Cleft Lip and/or Palate on Maternal Stress and Attachment
Representations that explains the parent phenomenon to some extent. Also attached is
an abstract of the paper.
There are two separate cleft/craniofacial communities. AmeriFace and Cleft Advocate is a
community of parents of children born with facial birth defects. There is some crossover
with parents of children who acquire facial disfigurement through illness or accidents.
Parent groups may minimize the consequence of facial birth defects as an ego defense,
and as a coping mechanism regarding their children with facial disfigurement.
Adult survivors of facial birth defects are a reminder to some parents of the limitations of
craniofacial surgery to create normalcy from what is missing or deformed. Bigotry and
prejudice of certain parents toward afflicted adults may fall along the same lines as racial
hatred, and discrimination based on social class, ethnicity, religion, disability and sexual
orientation.

The U.S. Eleventh Circuit failed to honor its Order entered in 13-11585-B July 25, 2013,
before HULL, WILSON and JORDAN, Circuit Judges. BY THE COURT: (Exhibit 10).
...Should Gillespie wish to petition for mandamus relief, he may file a separate petition
for a writ of mandamus or prohibition with this Court. See 28 U.S.C. 1651,
Fed.R.App.P.21.
My letter January 12, 2015 to The Honorable Ed Carnes, Chief Judge began, This letter
concerns an Order June 25, 2013 authorizing me to file a petition under 28 USC 1651, the all writs
act, in Case 13-11585-B, Reverse Mortgage Solutions v Neil J. Gillespie et al. (Exhibit 11)
Former Clerk John Ley responded by letter dated January 20, 2015. (Exhibit 12).
Appeal Number: 13-11585-B
Case Style: Reverse Mortgage Solutions, In v. Neil Gillespie, et al
District Court Docket No: 5:13-cv-00058-WTH-PRL
I am returning to you unfiled the papers which you have submitted.
In the absence of a pending appeal, as required by Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of
Appellate Procedure, this court has no jurisdiction to grant the relief requested.
This appeal was dismissed on 6/12/2013, and reconsideration on 7/25/2013.
No further action will be taken.
Former Clerk Ley is mistaken. The all writs act (28 USC 1651) is proper here, and
serves to negate the excuses Ley cited. Those reasons existed on June 25, 2013, which is why the
Courts Order July 25, 2013 authorized me to file a petition under 28 USC 1651 (all writs act) in
Case 13-11585-B, Reverse Mortgage Solutions v Neil J. Gillespie et al.
WHEREFORE, I responded to the Clerks email, Notice of New Requirement When
Filing Notice of Appeal. Later today I plan to file a motion for rehearing and clarification, in
PETITION NO. 5D15-0341.
Later today I also plan to file a motion to enlarge time in APPEAL NO. 5D15-0340.
I respectfully move the Court to grant such other and further relief as it deems just and
equitable, including an order reinstating PETITION NO. 5D15-0341, and enlarging time to file
the initial brief in APPEAL NO. 5D15-0340.
In the alternative, I move for appointment of counsel under the Americans With
Disabilities Act (ADA) as amended, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and hereby
give notice of appeal of the order dismissing the petition to the Supreme Court of Florida.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED April 27, 2015.

loss of brain function following traumatic brain injury in 1988, shown by the results a WRAT-R2 test
(Wide Range Achievement Test-R2), part of my vocational screening by the Florida Division of
Vocational Rehabilitation in 1993/1994.
My health continues to decline. Due to indigence I was not able to purchase a prescription costing
$422.95 for Lantus Solostar insulin (100 units) see attached. On Monday April 6, 2015 my doctor
interpreted the results of the attached CT scan of me from March 16, 2015: C5-6, moderate to severe left
neural foramina stenosis due to uncovertebral joint hypertrophy. This condition may explain neuropathy
in both my hands that makes typing difficult and painful.
Mr. Minter, I believe your incentive-based salary puts you in conflict with the citizens of Marion
County, as you strive to meet "certain performance benchmarks" instead of providing public service.
The Ocala Star Banner reported July 7, 2010, "Marion hires Seminole County's Minter as county
attorney". (attached)
"If Minter meets certain performance benchmarks to be set by the commission, his
salary would rise to $180,000 in the second year."
http://www.ocala.com/article/20100707/ARTICLES/100709777
This conflict likely explains why you failed to respond to my policy dispute submitted May 1, 2014 for
six weeks. Ultimately MCU returned my deposit in the amount of $150, which negates your position.
The county still owes me return of the $55 transfer fee wrongly charged.
I requested and was denied disability accommodation for access to information ultimately found here:
https://www.municode.com/library/fl/marion_county/codes/code_of_ordinances
The above link is to the Municode library for the Marion County Florida Code of Ordinances. This is
about getting information that Marion County did not want to provide. The above link does not appear
on the Marion County Utilities website that I know of. The utility application is not online. To make an
informed decision, I need to obtain and review this information in advance and in quiet, without a MCU
employee lying to me and presenting false choices, and demanding a decision prior to leaving its
dilapidated office, which I understand has moved.
Your claim that F.S. 282.601 - 282.606 does not apply to local governments is negated by MCUs
duty under section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act which is a similar law, and one Marion County is
obligated to obey as a recipient of federal funds. MCU could resolve this by,
A. Placing access to its utilities application online.
B. Providing a link to the Municode library for the Marion County Florida Code of Ordinances
https://www.municode.com/library/fl/marion_county/codes/code_of_ordinances
The Municode library is a usable form of the Code. The PDF version offered by the County is far less
accessable, or not accessable in some cases of disability.
This is not a question about being "an ambulatory individual with a driver's license, able to speak, hear,
4/27/2015
Page 3 of 7
read and write". This is not a question of being "physically capable of accessing the offices of Marion
County Utilities". That is compete and utter nonsense. Marion County Utility overcharged me by $205.
That shows without accommodation, Marion County defrauded me.
MCU employees misrepresented to me the requirements of Sec. 19-181, customer deposits, when I
appeared in person at the MCU office, on Tuesday, April 29, 2014.
1. MCU employees wrongly portrayed that a certain sequence applied to the establishment of credit
under Sec. 19-181(a). Specifically, MCU insisted that if a credit review under (a)(5) was denied, that
denial foreclosed all other options except (a)(2), the applicant pays a cash deposit. MCU lied, because
option (a)(4) was available to me to establish credit under 19-181(a). However I was unaware that MCU
was lying to me because I did not have access to the Code in a usable form.
2. MCU employees wrongly portrayed that under (a)(4), the account "must be in your name". Again,
MCU lied, and I was unaware that MCU was lying because I did not have access to a usable form of
Code. An applicant need only provide a letter from another public utility stating the applicant has two
(2) years of good account history as defined by (a)(4).
Mr. Minter, you wrote June 18, 2014 that Marion County Utilities does not have provisions for
"economic hardship", but you would be pleased to review any such provisions. On July 28, 2010 the
United Nations General Assembly explicitly recognized, through Resolution 64/292, the human right to
safe drinking water and sanitation, and acknowledged that clean drinking water and sanitation are
essential to the realisation of all human rights. The United States is a member of the UN and subject to
Resolution 64/292. Under Resolution 64/292, everyone in Florida has a human right to water and
sanitation. (attached, and at the link) http://www.un.org/es/comun/docs/?
symbol=A/RES/64/292&lang=E
See the attached UN press release, also at the link
http://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=14777&LangID=E
"GENEVA (25 June 2014) Three UN experts* on the human rights to water and sanitation, adequate
housing, and extreme poverty and human rights expressed concern Wednesday about reports of
widespread water disconnections in the US city of Detroit of households unable to pay water bills.
"Disconnection of water services because of failure to pay due to lack of means constitutes a violation of
the human right to water and other international human rights," the experts said. "Disconnections due to
non-payment are only permissible if it can be shown that the resident is able to pay but is not paying. In
other words, when there is genuine inability to pay, human rights simply forbids disconnections," said
Catarina de Albuquerque, the expert on the human right to water and sanitation."
The foregoing is only a fraction of my ultimate final response to your letter of June 18, 2014 (attached),
a response which may exceed 100 pages with supporting documents.
To the Court(s) and Clerk(s), the Florida legislature enacted Fla. Stat. 29.007 Court-appointed counsel,
see attached Appendix 11, AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION - Directory of Law Governing
Appointment of Counsel in FLORIDA Civil Proceedings
Fla. Stat. 29.007 Court-appointed counsel, "Subsections (3), (4), (5), (6), and (7) ... This section
applies in any situation in which the court appoints counsel to protect a litigants due process rights." A
plain reading of "any situation" includes HECM reverse home mortgage foreclosure in either the trial
court or appellate court, and ultimately the supreme court.

Mr. Tomasino, I am in receipt of the Florida Supreme Courts dismissed of petition SC14-1637, see
attached. Craig Waters denied a records request for the DOJ record notifying Chief Justice Jorge
Labarga that it is investigating the mental-health screening imposed by the Florida Supreme Court on
bar applicants. The Supreme Court wrongly denied a counsel appointment in SC14-1637 required under
Fla. Stat. 29.007 Court-appointed counsel, which has delayed my petition, to which I would now add
the records denial of Mr. Waters, and the ongoing records violations of Grace Fagan and the Fifth
Judicial Circuit, and their added requirements not imposed by Fla. R. Jud. Admin. Rule 2.420(m)(1).
Would that be a motion for rehearing, with new matters? Thank you.
Sincerely,

Mr. Gillespie:
With respect to your message below, and your public records request dated January 2,
2015, neither I nor the County Attorneys office have any records related to the
Proclamations of Confederate History Month referenced in your letter. My office did not
prepare those proclamations, and had no involvement in handling or processing those
documents. The same answer applies to any records for the fundraising to move Johnny
Reb, and any accounts related thereto. We have no records on those topics. The same
answer applies to any records related to the reported receipt by Marion County of $2.5
million in federal stimulus funding. We have no records on those topics.
I therefor defer to whatever Mr. Harrell has reported to you with respect to records in the
possession of the Clerk.

Mr. Kauffman, see attached my Sec. 19-179(1) POLICY DISPUTE - Marion County Utilities (MCU).
The paper copy will ship tomorrow by UPS. The pickup deadline for today has passed. Please credit
my Account No: 010456-01 in the amount of $55.
Regarding Ms. Doty's public record comments below, I believe she is mistaken. Mr. Minter may have
records that Mr. Harrell does not have or even know about. Therefore, my records request to Mr.
Minter is still open. Records not provided. I also communicated with Mr. Harrell, and he was unaware
of the Proclamations until I requested records. The BOCC authorized the Proclamations, and with Mr.
Minter, may have more records. Thank you.

Subject: RE: SECOND REQUEST: Records request to County Attorney Guy Minter-Jan-02-2015
In researching your public records request to the County Attorney, I learned from the Clerk
of the Courts staff that they have already fulfilled the majority of the request. I spoke with
the Clerks General Counsel, Greg Harrell, and he has sent me all of his correspondence to
you which addresses the proclamations, the finance records of the fundraising for the
Johnny Reb statue, and the finance records of Marion Countys use of federal stimulus
funds.
In regard to the last portion of your request concerning your utility account, our Utilities
Director has confirmed that nothing has changed since last summer. As you stated, you
received a notification from Dr. Lee Niblock explaining that your account would be
credited $150, but the $55 transfer fee was still applicable. That action remains in place as
the final determination of your request for a refund.
Thank you,

We recently told you that you met the medical requirements to receive Social
Security benefits. Now we are writing to tell you that you meet the other
requirements. Therefore you qualify for monthly disability benefits from Social
Security beginning July 1992.
However, we cannot pay you for July 1992 through July 1993.
The Date You Became Disabled
We found that you became disabled under our rules on January 17, 1992. This is
different from the date given on the application.
Also, you have to be disabled for 5 full calendar months in a row before you can
be entitled to benefits. For these reasons, your first month of entitlement to
benefits is July 1992.
What We Will Pay And When
You will receive $1,185.00 for August 1993 around September 3, 1993.
Your Benefits
We raised your monthly benefit amount beginning December 1992 because the
cost of living increased.
Enclosure(s):
Pub 05-10072
Pub 05-10153
. 160-52-5117HA
Page 2 of 3
Besides the money we are sending you now, you may be due some more Social
Security money for July 1992 through July 1993. We must first subtract the
amount of your Supplemental Security Income payments for some or all of these
months from the Social Security money you are due. When we figure the
amount we have to subtract, we will send another letter to show how it was
done. If you are still due some money after the subtraction, we will also send
you a check.
Other Social Security Benefits
The benefit described in this letter is the only one you can receive from Social
Security. If you think that you might qualify for another kind of Social Security
benefit in the future, you will have to file another application.
Do You Disagree With The Decision?
If you think we are wrong, you have the right to appeal. A person who did not
make the first decision will decide your case. We will correct any mistakes. We
will review those parts of the decision which you believe are wrong and will look
at any new facts you have. We may also review those parts which you believe
are correct and may make them unfavorable or less favorable to you.
The 60 days start the day after you receive this letter.
You must have a good reason if you wait more than 60 days to ask for an
appeal.
The doctors and other trained personnel who decided that you are disabled expect
your health to improve. Therefore, we will review your case in July 1994. We
will send you a letter before we start the review. Based on that review, your
benefits will continue if you are still disabled, but will end if no longer disabled.
For you to be considered disabled under our rules, your health problems must
keep you from doing not only your usual work, but also any other kind of
substantial gainful work.
Also, you must meet this requirement at the same time when you have earned
enough credits for work under Social Security. The last date when you will have
earned enough credits is December 1994.
Please read the enclosed pamphlet, "How You Earn Social Security Credits,"
which explains how the credits are earned and how many a person needs to
receive benefits.

160-52-5117HA
Your Responsibilities
The decisions we made on your claim are based on information you gave us. If
this information changes, it could affect your benefits. For this reason, it is
important that you report changes to us right away.
We have enclosed a pamphlet, "When You Get Social Security Disability
Benefits...What You Need To Know." It will tell you what must be reported and
how to report. Please be sure to read the parts of the pamphlet which explain
what to do if you go to work or if your health improves.
If You Want Help With Your Appeal
You can have a friend, lawyer or someone else help you. There are groups that
can help you find a lawyer or give you free legal services if you qualify. There
are also lawyers who do not charge unless you win your appeal. Your local Social
Security office has a list of groups that can help you with your appeal.
If you get someone to help you, you should let us know. If you hire someone, we
must approve the fee before he or she can collect it. And if you hire a lawyer, we
will withhold up to 25 percent of any past due benefits to pay toward the fee.
If You Have Any Questions
If you have any questions, call us toll free at 1-800-772-1213. We can answer
most questions over the phone. You can also write or visit any Social Security
office. The office that serves your area is located at:
DISTRICT OFFICE
898 30TH AVE NORTH
ST PETERSBURG, FL 33704
If you do call or visit an office, please have this letter with you. It will help us
answer your questions.
