I live in Chillicothe, Ohio. I had my social security hearing in front of the ALJ on Oct 20, 2005. He approved me at my hearing. I called the Hearing Of Appeals office yesterday to find out about my file. The lady said it was sent from the Hearing Of Appeals office Dec 12, 2005 for writing. I was just wondering if anyone knew how long the writing took, and then how long it took to get to the payment center. Thank You, Pam
