5. Mom's doc signed a form saying it was a medical need.

Her mailbox was across the street. Ice and snow were a threat to her safety. We talked to her doc and the doc signed a form stating mom needed a box on her house as a medical necessity. It took couple weeks to get approval and to get a box installed that fit the standards, but it wasn't a terrible process considering...

I'd say to not only talk to the carrier, but also to chat with the postmaster. It can't hurt.
