I sincerely hope things work out for you! I know anything can happen @ these hearings, but if the vocational person testified that you can't do any work, then that is huge. These hearings are supposed to be just like a court of law...The judges are to make decisions based on the evidence presented. Unless someone presented a case where you can work, then you're in good shape.

Given your time line, you should hear something very soon.

Good luck, and be sure to let us know.

Kelvinn, I am about a month behind you awaiting my decision as well. I know how nerve-wracking the not knowing can be for those of us who have been sick for so long. I try to remain optimistic and not dwell on the lack of communication at this time. I know waiting for 2 years for a hearing was stressful, having to keep on top of the records and make sure to keep in touch with all the doctors and follow through with yet some more doctors who come to the same conclusion. I at least am relieved that I can now just go to my maintenance doctors and not be subjected to a host of tests and trial treatments; I actually feel were a waste of my time and their's but you do want to comply with treatment options. I know I feel vindicated by the mere air of my hearing. I actually got to tell in my words how my illness has affected me daily and feel I was finally recognized as truthful and sincere in my hunt for some answers to my health problems. At least, I felt respected for my search, even though it may have not been successful in finding a cure.

I know where you are at this time and I realize that some have waited much longer than myself to have their day in court. I just hope that some swift resolution will give us the closure on this stressful ordeal. I think the not knowing is almost as painful as some of the treatments we have experienced. At least, I feel that I am finally being taken seriously. It is a shame that one has to fight so hard to just be respected for an illness that was no fault of our own. Keep the faith.
