Based off of my research into this matter I have found that you do not have to sign the HIPPA form to file a claim. What this form does is it allows the insurance company to access medical records related to your claim directly from the health care providers that have them. If they do not have this form then only you have access to the records and the insurance company will have to reach out to you for every record they need through out the claim process. It is usually recomended that you sign the form for simplicities sake since it will make the claim process allot faster but the choice is yours.
Hope this helps!

Can you go on holiday if you claim job seekers allowance?
If you are out of the country and not available to sign on, on your specific day, your claim will be cancelled. When you return from holiday you will have to make a new claim, and you will not receive any benefits while you have been away. Its a real pain. ^^^ This is not correct. You can fill out a holiday form. While you're on holiday (whether in the UK or abroad) your claim will be suspended for the period you're away, and you wont be paid anything for the days you state on the holiday form. However - once you return, and sign on your next scheduled day, your benefits will be started again without having to fill in a new claim.

Can you still file an insurance claim if the other person had the stop sign and left the scene so you drove home and didn't file a police report?
Yes, you can always 'file a claim', would've been better of course had you stayed at the scene (and left your car where it was) and the police could've documented the angles, point of impact etc. Did you get any info? Plates? If so that will be helpful, I would probably call the police now, and get a report on record, so the other party doesn't report it just the oppisite....Also turn in your claim immediately.

No, it is not the same. A signature that is merely witnessed by some other person is referred to as an "attested" signature. A notarized signature is where the signature is witnessed by a notary public with the notary affixing the appropriate stamp and seal on the document that was signed.If the claim form simply has another line for a witness to sign, it does not have to be by a notary unless the claim form specifically states that it must be by a notary.
