My back pay will take a while, as they have to be sure I don't owe any taxes and other stuff - she said the back pay will take from 90 days to 6 months. They found me disabled from the date I quit working when my employer let me go back in Dec. 09.

Amazing. I never thought I could actually get this without appealing and a lawyer and everything.
Congrats! Another happy ending! I had an attorney and I was approved on my first try as well. My attorney was definitely overpaid, but he provided the guidance I needed to win my case.
