Congrats! I also was just notified that mine was fully favorable, after my hearing with the alj, However in my state, to get to this point has taken me 2 years!

I got my letter on Wednesday. It is comforting to know that help is on the way, just wondering how long that will take!

[LisaK]

Thanks everyone for the warm replies. I have been checking my account every day to see if I have gotten a check, but nothing yet. I sure hope they pay me before Christmas, that would be a blessing. How in the world do people make it this long? Thanks Lisa
