It is correct that you are not assigned a case worker at the local office. You will submit your appeal and essentially be in limbo waiting for an ALJ to be assigned. SS was having Senior Attorneys review files for OTR decisions a few years back, but I'm unsure if that's continuing. You should ask your attorney when she will file an OTR request, because most seem to wait until right before a hearing will be scheduled.
Thank you for clearing that up for me. I was quite shocked when I was told that I did't have a case worker at the FO. lol

Do you know if a person has to have new medical evidence to go OTR ? And if so does it have to pertain to the original claim ? I was just DX with degenerative disc disease so I wonder if I could use that to go OTR .
