On the record decision
 

I was scheduled for my hearing before the administrative law judge for this friday Feb 3.

I received a call today from my attorney's office telling me that I DO NOT have to go to the hearing on Friday as the judge made an "On the Record Decision".

I asked what that meant and I was told I would have to wait to receive paperwork in the mail. However, she also told me that she never heard of it being a bad thing, but could not tell me I was approved, just that I have to wait!!

Does anyone know if an On the record decision is ALWAYS favorable??

Do a google search. As far as I know-OTR means that they have obtained enough information too declare you disabled.

I have been looking it up, and yes everything I read makes it sound like a favorable decision.
I will just be glad when I get a letter telling me FAVORABLE!!

it cannot be unfavorable or else you are entitled to a hearing.

on the record
 

This is how i won the back pay was in the bank fast just my story.GOOD LUCK

Sounds like a congrates is in order.

I sure hope so, the waiting is killing me!!

Have you been checking your bank account because your backpay may have already been deposited?

everyday.....nothing yet!!

My whole process was done through the mail and my decision was a "Fully Favorable On the Record "one. That is specifically what that is made for, so you don't have to go to court and they can make a favorable decision with the info. they have, so as not to have to go through the whole long process!

So a congrats is in order!!:)
