I had a crappy disability rep that didn't keep me informed. I did not have any hearings but found out I won SSDI disability claim by checking SSA.gov website periodically, logging in under my user id. Then had to wait a few months for lump payment. First benefit to be paid next month (Nov 2013).
My neighbor was denied twice and went to a hearing and was waiting for result. I suggested he log onto the SSA gov website and he was shocked to find out that he won. Then he called SSA directly and they said it could take up to 4 months to calculate his SSDI back pay and then he would receive official notice. Made his day.
Perhaps you could use the website to check your status?
