The other thing was she told me I would be getting backpay payments, not a one lump sum. I then said to her that didn't she just tell me that I will be recieveing ssdi? So wouldn't that mean I should be recieveing a one lump sum. She said after looking she didn't said that my ssdi backpay was moved over to ssi backpay, because they couldn't pay me the ssi supplemental payment without doing it this way.

So is the correct way they do things? I really confused and don't want to get incorrect info, and taken avantage of.

Sorry for all the the mispellings, I have blind spots do to a stroke cause by migrains aura. I can't see good enough to read and I use dragon dictation to write and read back in audio.
