I have been through intensive therapy and regained some functionality of my right side back and am able to walk again but still have medical issues as a result of the strokes. Last post is when I was at the reconsideration stage. I was denied. I appealed (my attorney appealed for me) and went to alj hearing on November 27. I just found out yesterday that I received fully favorable decision and my claim is at the processing center. This has been a long 5 years... I am so glad to finally have received the approval. Now I can begin on putting the pieces of my life back together as much as I can. I am overwhelmed with tears right now as I have fought so long for this. I thank those who assisted me throughout the process. This forum has helped me prepare more effectively for my second application process with receiving disability benefits. Sorry for the long post.

So it took from Nov 27 to March to get a decision from an ALJ hearing? I thought it would take 2-4 weeks after hearing with Judge. I am new to this as well. Husband has an ALJ hearing coming up soon.
