Social Security Disability Advice Group

I went to my hearing this am and went thru the ropes no problem. Other then waiting 2 years to get approved it wasnt bad at all. The waiting and getting everything in line was the worst part. They did loose my paper work and coundt give me a bench desicion but he did indicate that I was approved but it will take a couple xtra days, thats fine just as long as Im awarded. Thank God the nightmare is over for me. Thanks for your help folks and all the good info here. I will stay around to help with anything I might be able to. Again thanks and Im glad I found this forum.

My life begines again today!

Hip Hip hooray for you bustedup!! so happy to hear good news. Will you be applying for medicaid as well? I believe you already served the 2 year waiting period.

Yes, Im going to get what ever I can. Ive worked very hard all my life so I feel I deserve it. I need to see a real Dr so I can possilby get my stuff fixed if they can.

That is great!! I can only pray the judge sends me a favorable decision soon.

It shouldnt be long and do let us know ok!!

So I spoke with my lawer yesterday and he said he called and they havent even documented the decision yet. Its been a month already. How long could it possibly take for them to do this?

I believe I was originally told it could take 6 to 8 weeks for a decision.

Ok, so I called my lawer this morn and he says it will be writen this week. Whats the next step does anybody know?

Where you approved? Are you waiting on the judge's decision still?

I wasnt granted a bench desicion because they lost my paper work. The judge gave us a nod of approval. They had to get my papers in order. So Im assuming Ive been approved.
