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!!

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!!
