Hi all, I have been denied twice for disability so I retained a lawyer last April. When I spoke to him at the initial meeting he told me I would be going to Peoria, Il so I could actually stand before the judge. Well I got a letter this week from my attorney stating that the hearing will be in Springfield, Il via a video conference. I asked him at the the initial meeting would I get an answer the day of the hearing and he told me no, it could take up to two months to get an answer yet when I talked to him earlier this week he said I could get an answer that day or it may take up to a month. I asked him if he was confident I would win and he said he was very confident I would win. I don't know how he would have any way of knowing that. I think a better answer would have been "you never know how these things will work out we will just have to wait and see." Based on his answer that he is very confident I will win it tends to get my hopes up so if I end up losing I will be very disappointed. I already suffer from severe depression and if I lose it will probably make it worse especially since it is so close to Christmas which is a holiday that always sends me into a deep depression. Thanks for listening and any comments are always appreciated.
