I say this because if you are denied (which is common the first go round) there would never be a quality review in the first place, only reviews of positive judgements take place. The other thing I see in this is if it does go for a review this may hold up the process for a while, so the case worker is also telling you to be patient. When my wife got a positive judgement her lawyer stated that there is a slight chance that the judgment may go in for a review. Her advise was not worry about it at all. Reviews are common in SS cases, I wouldn't worry about it or take it personal.

Others, please chime in if there is important info I'm missing.
ballerina,

jimking gave you all the best advise. All I can add is I also was denied the first time, without an attorney and then approved on the second request with an attorney. The whole process took almost 2 years and my medical records where over 2500 pages and it was a certified copy of my medical and still got denied the first time, so it's definitly not unusual.

Good Luck,

gabbycakes
