Thanks, I read something similar! I want to get excited....but I am a little scared to since the attorney's office told me I had to wait to get the paperwork in the mail.

Good luck Daisy. It sure looks good for you.

Hi Daisy.Girl

This is very good news. If it was to be against you- they'd need you to show up because that is your right.

I had this kind of decision. After the first rejection, I reapplied using a lawyer recommended by the local chapter of NMSS.

After the documents were delivered, the ALJ called my lawyer to say that it was basically a slam dunk and that the Rehab people who do the first screening for disability in this state got it wrong.

She then wrote a 3-4 page letter slamming them and quoting laws- chapter and verse.

Although we may not have the loss of a limb or a sense etc, the combined affect of our cognitive, language, energy, ambulation, etc together makes us disabled. It is the same w some HIV/Aids patients: a preponderance of problems.

I'm doing a modified happy dance for you!

Ann,
Do you remember how long it took for you to get something in writing in the mail? My attorneys office really wouldn't give me any more information then: I just have to wait to get it in the mail.
I have been searching and everything I read says what you and the others have said, An On the Record Decision can be nothing but favorable.

How long will it take for me to start getting any kind of moneys?? I started this so long ago, I don't even remember what bank I gave them for my direct deposit.....and I have changed banks; so I better call someone, I guess.

thanks again everyone!!

You will get a letter within 10 days and the money starts very quickly! They will give you the "date of disability" and back pay you to that date. I had money in the bank one day before I actually got my letter.

thank you all for your responses. I will be very glad when I get that letter! and God knows we sure can use the money.

i don't know but i sure wish you good luck.
let us know.
