Really stuck on this month's xword. A little nudge would help me and would be appreciated.
9D. He has his claims put before a nurse (9) I have ?R?G???E?. The G might be iffy.It comes from the clue across "It's somehow no good.A pain"(5) I have put aGony ?
7A. Parched without the first signs of showers for days in June (6) I have T???A? Again the A might be iffy in this clue as I have given the answer "Carve" for "A score will cover it"(5)
Help appreciated. Thanks

Thank you all so much for your helpful input. Back to the drawing board and see if I can work out a few more stinkers for myself but I think I might come back to you all on this one.
Many Thanks once again.
