I in July of 2007, and did not hire an attorney until my second time being turned down in NC that is called the reconsideration hearing. Well I went with my lawyer and her aid to my hearing expecting to be there at least one hour. The Judge or his record taker swore me in there was no ME or VE at my hearing. The judge ALJ asked me one question and said he agreed with my fully on my claim and that was it, my lawyer did not even say a word, but she told me nothing was legal until we recived a award letter from the AQLJ. It is going on three months and I have heard nothing. I did call odar in Greensboro and they said my case was ready to be turned over to a decision writer but has not been turned over to a decisiopn writer yet. Any idea how long his can take and is it normal even after the ALJ ruled in my favor at the hearing and told me iy was in my favor for it to take this long? I know you're in Atlanta but do you have an idea how long from July 2009 before I get the award letter?
Thank you for your time,

1) You should talk to your lawyer since you have one. Your lawyer will know average processing times in your area.
2) Yup, sometimes the cases is decided at the hearing, but then a person waits, and waits (and waits) for the *written* decision to be issued. But, at least then you know what the decision will be.
This communication is not legal advice does nor does it form an attorney-client relationship. No representation is provided without a validly executed fee agreement.
Thank you for your time,

I got my fully favorible award letter from the ALJ in NC. The onset date is July 2007 which means I should be getting a back pay or several back pay checks. My question is that I do not have a represenative payee my money will be direct deposited in my Credit Union account. I read somewhere I had to keep up with every penny I spend of my back pay, is this correct? I have people I have borrowed $2000.00 from that will not want to give me a reciept. I owe a lot of people like this. How will I keep account of this to show SSA. It seems to me like it is my money they owe me and I should not have to prove anything to them concerning my back pay. Do we not have a constitution and bill of rights to protect us from such as this?
Thank you for your time
