You should ask your attorney why he changed the date. We do that kind of thing all the time for various reasons, and I'm sure your attorney had a good one, but you should ask just so you know.

30-60 days is pretty standard. You did get all the usual clues that it will be awarded. I hope so for you. Just know that you are now waiting for two letters. The First will be a big, long letter from the judge titled, "Notice of Decision." After that, you get to wait another 30-60 days (Though they have been coming faster) for a "Notice of Award." This notice will tell you how much money you are getting and when. And yes, sometimes the check beats this letter..

Good luck to you!

Congrads Bambie !

i just wanted to know if ssi can tell you over the phone if you were approved or denied after seeing a judge

Nope! Remember, you're dealing w/the FEDS.

Sometimes the Judge will declare right in the court room. He did for me. However usually it is a letter by mail. I didn't believe what he said until I got the letter. I wish the best for you. ginnie

i got approved right in the "SS"office,but i guess it case is different

******************************************

Their policy says "No".............and "Wait for the letter"

The wait can certainly be frustrating......
