Alj hearing, opinions please

You should ask your attorney why he changed the date. We do that kind of thing all the time for various reasons, and I'm sure your attorney had a good one, but you should ask just so you know.

30-60 days is pretty standard. You did get all the usual clues that it will be awarded. I hope so for you. Just know that you are now waiting for two letters. The First will be a big, long letter from the judge titled, "Notice of Decision." After that, you get to wait another 30-60 days (Though they have been coming faster) for a "Notice of Award." This notice will tell you how much money you are getting and when. And yes, sometimes the check beats this letter..

Good luck to you!

If they ruled fully favorible, you got the disability. The judge ruled the same way for me, at the hearing. I heard by letter several weeks later. The document will help you reliax. ginnie

i just wanted to know if ssi can tell you over the phone if you were approved or denied after seeing a judge

[Mz Migraine]

Nope! Remember, you're dealing w/the FEDS.

Sometimes the Judge will declare right in the court room. He did for me. However usually it is a letter by mail. I didn't believe what he said until I got the letter. I wish the best for you. ginnie

******************************************

Their policy says "No".............and "Wait for the letter"

The wait can certainly be frustrating......
