If you've gotten to the point where your disability case with the social security administration will be decided at an ALJ hearing (a disability hearing presided over by an administrative law judge), you can expect, at some point, to receive one of the following outcomes. 1. Your social security disability or SSI disability case may be approved as fully favorable. What does fully favorable mean? It means that when the judge approves your case, he or she will agree, in the formal notice of decision, that your disability began when you said it began. In other words, the judge will agree that your state of disability began on the date you indicated on your application. 2. Your disability case may be approved as partially favorable? When a disability hearing is held and a claimant is given a partially favorable decision, this means that an administrative law judge has approved an SSD or SSI benefit case, but has not agreed with the disability onset date indicated by the claimant on their application for disability. In these types of decisions, the judge will, after thorough consideration, decide upon an onset date that he or she feels is warranted by the evidence found in the medical records. Obviously, in cases like this, the amount of backpay claimant eventually receives will depend entirely on the judge and on how successful a disability claimant's attorney has been at establishing an early onset date. 3. Your disability case may be denied completely after a disability hearing has been held. In situations like this, a disability claimant's social security attorney may advise a claimant to file another appeal or to file a new disability application, or possibly to utilize both options.
