Sioux Falls, SD

I received a letter from SSDI that the judge is 'fully favorable' about my hearing. Can anyone tell me what to expect? Im not sure what this means, i talked to my lawyer and i dont need to do anything. I had posted this the other day but not thinking i didnt post as a question so sorry for the repeat!

I have general full seizures (unofficially grand mal seizures --- never witnessed by a doctor and thus not official), nocturnal seizures, Focal Onset Aware Seizures (Simple Partial Seizures) and Focal Onset Impaired Awareness Seizures (complex partial seizures). And they are refractory.

If you have had not previously received a scheduled date for the hearing, then this is simply the judge confirming that he/she is in favor or having the hearing and now a time must be worked out with your lawyer, you, the judge and anyone else who will be testifying at the hearing.

I went on disability when I was pregnant. My work got me assigned after having the payments for pregnancy. They got in touch with all my physicians. I have partial complex sz w/ generalized seizures. During the time and review and acceptance to SSDI, I got back pay. I was surprised ! I was grateful, too!
