Well i can tell u this, i was hurt oct 31 of 2007. after major back surgery in july of o8 (rods screws and hardware 50+ yrs old) i apllied for ssi in jan 09, of couse they said no, apealed that went in front of the alj in september of 2010 and in dec of 2010 was denied again, my lawyer immediately appealed it. the apeeals council rec'd it (falls church va) in jan 2011. i finally heard from the apeeals council august 20 of 2012, YES JAN of 2011 to august of 2012 (yes u are reading this right ! 19 months TO HEAR FROM THE APEEALS COUNCIL AGAIN I SAY AGAIN 19 MONTHS AND YES IT WAS REMANED BACK TO THE ALJ. AND to top it off i got hurt while working and the workers comp board found me completly disabled in dec 2008. and the alj still disappoved me. so the key to it is be patient. so good luck i have 4+ years trying to get it and i am going to see this though. good luck to you....
