It wasn't like I had an accident or sudden injury, so I did not have a "date" of onset in my mind. I finally took my best shot and used the date I quit my job. That really was the date that my conditions prevented me from performing my duties.
Hope things work out well for you. Keep us posted.

The date your condition stopped you from engaging in SGA which is often the day you stopped work is almost always correct. It could be earlier if you had short attempts to work and then had to stop because you were too sick or hurting too much to continue and then started up again a few months later. Unsuccessful work attempts. Short in duration.
