Our guesses are probably less helpful to you than you think. My guess is that you have been either approved or denied.

Sometimes CE appts are set up because the analyst has been waiting for the information needed from your treating doctors and perhaps is trying to make sure that there is enough information to make a decision and is covering all bases just in case your treating doctor doesn't provide the necessary evidence. Impossible for us to know why. Guesses are pretty useless, IMO.

Assuming your claim is an approval: Since you stopped work 2/28/11, your five month non-payment waiting period for SSDI will be March 2011 through July 2011. Payment would be effective with August 2011 and first check comes the month after it is due which would be a Wednesday in September 2011, based on your birthday.

If you also have an SSI claim pending, you will probably have to prove your income and resources since the date you filed before you get any checks but it can be effective with the month after you filed the claim.

If your claim is a denial, you will receive a notice and an explanation about the appeal process which can be very long and no guarantee it will go your way. Not what you want to hear, I am sure, but no one here can predict the outcome. You do have a varieity of problems that can severely impact daily functioning on a job so you may be approved.
