How does a Veteran know if they have a good claim for service-connected disability compensation benefits?
Veterans must understand three things for a claim for service-connected compensation.
1. The injury or disease incurred or aggravated during service–
Meaning in the time-period the veteran served in the military, not whether the injury or disease was a result of combat.
2. The veteran has a current disability–
The veteran could have had the worst disease known to man, but still not recover any compensation from the VA if the veteran has since fully recovered from that illness. Veterans should remember that pain is not an injury or disease, but is rather a symptom of such injury or diseases, so is important to compensation for this and that’s when a new york personal injury attorney could really be of help.
For veterans that served in the Persian Gulf War and are now suffering from undiagnosed symptoms, you may be suffering from what is known as Gulf War Syndrome. Physicians treating Gulf War veterans should be made aware that if they are unable to diagnosis such a disease then they simply say so, rather than guess a diagnosis. It is more favorable for the veteran if the treating physician leave the potential Gulf War Syndrome candidate as undiagnosed, rather than take a guess at a potentially incorrect diagnosis.
3. What medical professional has indicated that there exists a
relationship between the current disability and the injury or disease
incurred or aggravated during service?
This means both VA and private medical practitioners.

Husband and wife team Joseph and Le’Ann Jackson are bringing a unique and fun concept to the area, cheesecake in a jar. For just $5 customers can purchase a glass jar filled with an entire slice of cheesecake from Le’Anns Cheesecakes ‘N More. Cheesecakes can also be customized, and it offers different bottom choices like chocolate chip brookie (brownie and cookie) bottom, and different toppings like salted caramel, pineapple, peanut butter and more. Also available are gluten-free cheesecakes.
The couple is Brandon based, and while they are looking for a space in Brandon to sell their desserts, customers can currently find them at local farmers markets. Shoppers will find the Le’Anns Cheesecakes ‘N More table at the Ybor Daily Market at 1920 East 7th Ave Monday through Wednesday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. and Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. They also attend other markets in the area, anywhere from Sarasota to Clearwater.
“One of the more popular cheesecakes people buy at the Ybor Daily Market is what we call the ‘breakfast cheesecake’. It has a maple bottom with a bacon caramel topping,” said Joseph.
The Jacksons have been in business for eight months, and Joseph quit his job to give his full attention to their start-up business.
“We love doing this. I feel like I’m not working anymore; just living,” he said.
The couple uses a top secret cheesecake recipe, one that Le’Ann was not even privy to until she married her husband.
“My family uses a secret ingredient in our cheesecakes and only family knows it. When we got married, Le’Ann received the family cookbook and only then did he learn the recipe,” explained Joseph.
Le’Anns Cheesecakes ‘N More offers catering and delivery. Delivery is free with a minimum if 12 jars (equal to a whole cheesecake). Also available are cannolis and brookies, as well as many other dessert items. The company partners with Jason’s Firehouse Hot Sauce and Gigi’s Gourmet Caramels and is currently looking to partner up with local farmers to use their fresh ingredients for its desserts.
Customers can currently find these one of a kind cheesecakes in a jar at Cali Viejo, located on State Rd. 60 in Brandon, offering a Spicy Guava cheesecake, and Mobile Meals.

I don’t want to be a deadbeat parent
Written by Mary Huntsman, Esq.
A couple days ago, a father was in my office with a look of desperation on his face. As the consultation continued, I learned that he was in a relationship and had a baby. The relationship had since ended but he had fallen absolutely in love with his baby girl and was desperate to be a part of her life and help raise her. All he wanted was to not be a deadbeat parent, but was facing hurdles with his ex who felt he did not deserve to be a part of the child’s life.
