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 Christy,
When a decision has been made, you receive a letter in the mail stating if you were approved or denied. That is likely what he means.
wondering how my hearing went and if I was going to get approved or not

We are not affiliated with the SSA or the Federal Government so we do not have access to that information. You can make a MySSA account to see any updates, try calling the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 or contact your lawyer if you worked with one. Good luck!

Hi Becky,
It means that the SSA has made a decision regarding your claim, so you should be hearing back from them in the near future.

There is no black and white answer for that unfortunately, but you should be hearing back from the SSA in the near future.

Hi Rob,
It's likely your lawyer will hear the decision before you receive your decision letter. You can follow up with your lawyer to find out if they have heard anything.
If a Decision was made Can I contact my local social security office for a answer ? A decision was made on 12/17/2019

Hi Shirley,
The attorney that you worked with would be the best person to talk to. Attorneys receive their money first, therefore if they have been paid you will be paid shortly thereafter.
Had my hearing April 14 2020, my attorney said it went 99% great. The VE couldn't find any jobs I can do. The ALJ says she'l be making a dicision real soon. Haven't heard anything yet. Before my hearing it said a medical dicision had been made.

Hi Vanessa,
You can try following up with your lawyer, they typically hear back before you receive the letter stating the decision.
I filed in 2015 after a car accident left me with sever damage to my neck. I have been denied all the way thru to the appeals council. Last month I received a call from the field office of social security. They have found good cause to reopen my initial application. My question is how many reopened claims are approved and how long till I hear from them?

Hi Buffy,
Unfortunately it varies from case to case about approvals and even the length of time it takes to hear back about your claim. Best of luck!
