Hi LB,

We haven't seen mj back on this forum for awhile. It's always better to start your own thread so people don't glance at it and think this is all old news.

If SSA says you were disabled as of May 2010, benefits don't start until 5 or 6 months after that anyhow, so I would think your backpay amount would be more than a month or two. There are a few posters here who would be better able to figure that one out. When did you start getting your monthly checks ?
