Finz I am confused. Sorry if I made any impresion that my representative, made any type of inappropriate question of the alj judge. She was given the opportunity to question the "physicain". She never asked the judge on anyone else for a ruling during the hearing. Only the physician address other areas of my medical history that they seemed to want to ignore. Next is the confusing part I was wondering about. I was asked no question about my condition by the judge or anyone else. The judge completely skipped my testimony. Sorry, I sometimes have trouble making sense. And the part about my representative stating, by me not being given opportunity to testify or be asked questions about my general effects of my health. She felt was a very good thing. No I was not asked if I had to lay down and rest with activity. But it definately applies. I just have never read on any post where a judge listens to a physician and voc rehab then, nothing by the claimant. I am sure that I should just trust my representative, just overthing things. I appreciate your response. Thanks again god bless |

lol....thanks for the update.....I was scratching my head reading that. I thought maybe you had two different member names.
It can be confusing here with people with similar situations. OK....we are all straightened out now !

This sounds very similar to my situation. My neurosurgeon gave me a work status report in May that said i would be able to return to work on July 2, 2012. Had a visit with him on July 10, 2012 and he released me and said i needed a fusion in the same breath. My lawyer wasnt familiar with the judge and couldnt read her at all. She only told me that if the judge went with what the VE said it sounded like i could win but on the other hand the judge could change her mind. |

I don't see why what the medical condition is would make a difference in how fast they mail out the decision letter.....if that is what your questions is. I can see how what the medical condition is could make a difference in how fast they are able to make a decision.....if that was your question. I can't imagine the type of medical condition making a difference in the speed of the decision of something that made it all the way to the ALJ level. There are some dx's that the SSA is quick to approve. I've heard conditions like ALS and stage 4 cancers with a terminal dx are 'auto' approved. I can't imagine things like that getting to the ALJ level though.

I was denied twice, then lost first ALJ hearing, and appealed. At the second hearing the judge told me that she was going to set an onset date 2 1/2 years prior to my application date.
About 6 weeks later the back pay just showed up in the bank, and the award letter was about 2 weeks later. It took about 60 days to start getting the monthly amount. I hope the judge rules in your favor, it is so hard to call.

The judge usually doesn't tell the applicant at the hearing whether they plan to approve or deny them, unless a bench decision has been arranged........ So, don't be discouraged because the judge didn't say anything. Try to have trust in your lawyer. Usually, if a lawyer has any doubts at all, he would not be so encouraging. He wouldn't want to risk your anger if he were wrong.
