Hi Ib, It didn't take that long for the decision. My therapist initially refused to send my records even with signing a release ... the judge and my attorney informed her that it was illegal and the judge issued a subpoena at the hearing as these were the information required to make a decision. She also sent me to have a consultative exam with one of their doctors which happened on Dec. 3. The doctor didn't return his report until January 13 so it actually took from January 13 to March 5 to make the decision.

I imagine the times would differ from state to state. My case moved along very quickly even for our area. Hope this helps.
