The second time was admittingly done by not seeing the documents my attorney sent electronically. These docs included a letter from my doctor stating I am disabled. When I asked if they could reconsider their decision since they realized their error I was told "that is not how it works".  So we are now waiting for a date to see a judge. In my letter explaining that it will take 9-12 months to have my day it stated they may decide my case in my favor, with out a hearing. My questions is....what is the likelyhood of that really happening?? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks    I was denied SSDI twice now.

Apparently the fee agreement that he signed was lost at the payment center and another one had to be sent. My lawyer still has NOT been paid! I am getting so angry! I hope this resolves soon!

The date of the hearing is not the significant event; the decision is.  While a judge may tell you what the decision will be and even enter in into the record, it's the *paperwork* that's important. Social Security cannot process benefits without a decision. You mention the decision was entered on 09/16/11. So you are 45 days from the date of the decision which isn't very long when were are talking about average times for processing benefits. However, you are right around the time where I see benefits being paid out. So, hopefully you will see something soon.  However, go ahead and contact your lawyer to discuss how long it typically takes to process benefits in your area after the decision is issued. And congrats on winning Lisa!

Recieved a decision from the judge right at the hearing and then 2 weeks later on September 16th I recieved the copy of his decision as fully favorable. It is now going on over 60 days since the hearing and I have heard nothing! How much longer is this going to take? Should I contact my lawyer? I had a hearing in August 2011.

Got the decision in less than a month. The 24th is when I actually received it. I'll have 28 months of back pay according to the judge's ruling. Now I assume the SSA office is calculating payments and back pay, can I expect an award / statement letter and eventually a payment within 30-90 days? Is that 30 - 90 days from the date I got the judge's letter or 30-90 days from the beginning? Had my hearing on Sept. 1st and the judge stated I would receive a fully favorable decision in the mail.
