I received a letter from the Appeal council that it has granted my request for more time before taking action.Does this mean my case will be reviewed?

Depends on what is happening on the case. If you have an attorney, they should be able to get the hearing recording. Is part of the online file that attorneys can access. Otherwise, it can often be obtained from the hearing office, the Appeals Council (if the case is pending there), or through the local office.

The judge laughed about SSA losing paperwork - a far 180 degree turn from 4 years ago when he was an attorney representing clients and posted "... SSA will commonly lose files and documents that need to be replaced.

After 5+ Congressional Inquiries and 1 Presidential Inquiry I am FINALLY getting a copy of the Audio Recording that ODAR HAS LIED saying that the McAlister OK ODAR office had sent it back at the beginning of LAST YEAR - Local Office didn't even have the audio recording. Of course this is coming after the Appeals Council refused to review. Of course the ALJ depended HEAVILY on this recording so I couldn't ever mount a proper defense of all the things the Judge misrepresented and outright lied about. He starts off the hearing with a nasty tone stating that it will be very difficult to prove my case (the print outs of all my medical was well over a foot high at this time). So, yes they will go out of their way to deny you getting a recording if it doesn't bode well for them.

I recently requested the audio recordings for prior hearings from the AC and was told that it would take at least two months before they would be sent. Several months ago I sent a request for a copy of my file and was told last week after calling to check on the status of my request that they do not know when it will be sent out.
In January they told me that they never received my request for review and it was sent certified mail with a return receipt, so I know that they received it. Yet, They continue to use the wrong date that my request for review was sent and I even mailed them a copy of the return of receipt card from the P.O. Which they received on March 2,2015.

Talk to your attorney. See what s/he thinks. There is often disagreement about the evidence. However, that is what appeals are for. An unfair hearing complaint is a different matter.

In my wifes case, the judge ignored the vocational experts testimony, plus the social security doctor put several things in his letter that were completely untrue. I think after listening to the audio my Attorney should have help us file an unfair hearing against the ALJ, what is your opinion?

Thanks for your comment!

It sounds like you have or are about to appeal the hearing denial. Hopefully the Appeals Council will approve the case or give your wife another hearing.

I wish you the very best.

with the comments of the ALJ being disgrunted by our Lawyer post an denial,requesting these tapes may end up as noted..we hope in a way NOT but if returned to a new hearing at least we have more AMMO now as to wife's case... age (over 55 now),PCP letter as to fit to work as negative,and hard increase in Rx as strength...
