I have won my case in civil court after almost 6 years... however, I am now in a tough spot as my bf of 9 years has left me and I now live with married friends. I have written my attorney a dire need letter, and hope that I can skip the remand hearing with him and the alj.... I have opened a bank account to receive my backpay and am praying the money comes soon ... my question is how long will this take? I have not received the approval letter yet, and my case was won in civil court at the end of August.. should I expect to receive it soon?

It depends on the backlog in your state. If you are represented by an attorney, he/she can tell you about your states backlog. If you elected direct deposit, make it a habit of checking your bank account by phone every week. Direct deposits of back pay will be placed without notice into your account approximately 2 weeks - 30 days after you receive your final approval letter. Paper checks take a long time. Especially if your state has a backlog. Up to 6 months. PS Not sure if paper checks are still being used. Things have changed with SSDI since 2005. |

Remand usually means the Appeals Council found an error with the ALJ's decision, but they're sending you back before an ALJ (could be the same one, could be a new one) for a second opportunity to argue your case. Unless the language included "fully favorable decision", I don't believe you've won the war, just your latest battle. I may just be misunderstanding your post, but a call to your attorney for an explanation, might be a good idea at this point. It can take a long wait to get your ALJ hearing, so a dire need letter for an earlier court date is possible. But, don't rush it if you really need more time to successfully document the severity of your disability. |

I've been trying for 7 years after working 36 years in a row, and never asking for government assistance, what a kick in the pants this country gives to hardworking citizens. So sad!
