First hearing for SSDI is coming up [View all]

I applied in 2012, denied, hired an attorney. Attorney called to say the hearing will be in February.

How long after the hearing should it take to get a determination?

Also, I last worked 3/2009, just couldn't go on working due to health, and they made it easy for me, my company dissolved. The attorney said I waited too long to file. But, I was desperately trying to find a job and handle my health issues to the point of where I just gave up on both and finally filed.

Thanks for any information.

At the end of my hearing, the judge asked if I minded if he made a bench decision. Packerowner740 Dec 2013 #2
