I became disabled in October of 2010 and applied for SSDI. I have been treated by my doctor every week since then and have retained an attorney for my SSDI process.
I have been paying in to the Social Security system for 38 years and am 55 years old. I had been at my last job for 20 years until I had to retire in June 2012 due to my disability.
During my hearing the judge asked the Vocational Expert if I would be able to do full time work in my present position and she told the judge that I would not be able to. The judge then asked I would be able to do full time work in any position and the VE answered no, that I would not.
My doctor also provided paperwork that stated that I have a total disability and could not do any work. I also provided a letter from my former boss who I worked directly for the entire 20 years stating that I was a dependable and dedicated employee until I started missing a lot of days during the summer of 2010 due to the start up of my disability.
I just found out that my case is with a Decision Writer and would be turning the case back over to the judge in a couple of weeks.
My question is, with my work history, age, doctors treatment and findings of the Vocational Expert, what would be my chances of being rewarded benefits?

Hi Amanda,
I really can't say what your chances are, by you should find out when the judge sends his letter!
I was seen by the alj January 10th 2017, and I spoke to the hearing office today and she said the alj made her dicision and its in writing now, she said if I don't get something in the mail within the next two weeks then call her back, is this a good sign?

Hi Donnie,
We can't say for sure if that is good or bad. I would recommend reaching out the SSA or your Social Security attorney.
Best Wishes,
Eric

Hi Donnie,
That means they are writing a legal document based on the judge's decision. I really could not say how long it would take as every case is different and processing times can vary.
