I am only guessing but I think being remanded by the Federal court is a good sign. If they believed that prior rulings were correct and valid, they would have denied you and that would have been the end of it. Yes, to your question, that being notified that exhibits ready for viewing is usually right before they send you the date of hearing. You should hear from them again soon as to the date, but how far off the date may be is another matter. Usually in my area, about 60 days from when you get the letter.

I am so sorry to hear of your condition, your upcoming surgery, and your past denials.

I wish you a speedy recovery following your surgery and the strength to continue your fight for your disability benefits.

We will be thinking of you.

I asked you some questions under another thread that you have already answered with this new thread. Sorry I did not see this first.
